Would like to meet Apsergers families Coventry / Warwickshire

Oresteia

Hello,

Our daughter was "recently" diagnosed with Apsergers earlier this year (aged now 5). We would love to meet up with any other families in the Coventry and Warwickshire area, who in particular have daughters, maybe between the ages of 4 - 8 who might like to get in touch and possibly meet up.

Best Wishes

Parents

  • I loved your comment 'bright but odd'. That's pretty much how I describe my daughter. She's a funny little girl, mostly very happy, delightful and a joy to be around. She's very interested in anything to do with 'the natural world' especially seahorses and butterflies - does your daughter have any special interests? My daughter's not long started in year 1 and is doing much better with the structure & routine compared to reception class, which was an utter nightmare all year, which is how we ended up going for a diagnosis. No great surprise really, She appeared 'normal' as a baby and hit all the usual developmental targets but as soon as she was put into a social environment as a toddler was when the alarm bells started ringing. I think some members of the family are having a harder time than others accepting and understanding the diagnosis but I think it is beneficial to us all now we know. Hopefully we can now work towards getting her some support in school. Does your daughter get any additional in school support? Do you go to any support groups and if so have you found them helpful?
