  1. Hi I'm 38 and have been diagnosed with aspergers this year. Although not a surprise I'm still getting used to the diagnosis and it's raised some questions. Fortunately family are supportive but I worry about the implications for my sons (1 & 3)
  2. Agree with above. Request a meeting to discuss the problems your son is experiencing. Ideally email the concerns and any solutions you can offer before the meeting to provide a starting point. Noise reducing earplugs, seating arrangements in class, being first into lunch or last so less busy and quieter etc. If you make suggestions about solutions they will be more likely to make adjustments and not just see you as a difficult or complaining parent. If your meeting isn't successful and you feel they aren't trying to meet his needs then you can take it further to the board of governors.
  3. I was recently diagnosed (38 yr old) with Bass at Bristol. They used a combination of forms (one I answered and one completed by my mum) and 2 appointments with an autism nurse and a psychologist. In the first appointment I was given a book with pictures and asked to tell the story, some toys to make a story around, pictures to identify expressions and other similar tasks. At the second appointment they asked lots of questions about my relationships with others, what I enjoy, work, what I find difficult. I was asked to wait in the waiting room while they discussed between themselves and they gave me a diagnosis then. They explained what criteria they used and I had the chance to ask questions and followed up with a detailed letter.
