I'm worried they wont see it. If all her rules are in place and nothing happens that causes distress then she looks like every other child. Will they take this in account or just look at her and see she is happy and say there is no problem?

Since the meeting we had last Wednesday when everyone decided that Rhi needs testing for AS, she has had fantastic days at school with no screaming or temper tantrums. Now although I'm delighted to hear she is happy at school, I love seeing her face when the teacher has said its been a good day, I am now worried about the test. From what I have seen the teachers are being more considerate to wards her routine and rules which helps her feel safe, then the AS traits are less sever... Dose this happen? Is it possible for the symptoms to be less almost not noticeable to someone who is not looking for them? Rhi is making eye contact at home which is lovely to see but as soon as something is out of sync she can not cope. We have had times in the past where she has had a few great days in a row and then gone back. I feel bad that She is doing great but worry they will all say its nothing and then for it to start up again when the routine is changed like in spetember when she goes up to year two. Can there be days when everything seams ok or does that suggest this is a naughty child?

She is 6, will be 7 in Dec. Thank you for all your replies, I am so pleased that many of you felt the same things as me, I was starting to think I was a bad Mother wanting my child to be diagnosed!! Today is the first time she will be using a visual time table (I hope) So will see how she gets on with it. She has a fantastic reading ability but if you ask her about the story straight after she says she doesn't know

My husband has undiagnosed AS and has just joined a group for 'gamers'. they all do roleplaying and warhammer 40k. The games rely on dice rolls and mesureing how far army can move. The players rely on knowing to rules insideout and back to front. While there it turned out that all but one person there had AS!! It seams to be a popular game for boys who love rules and measuring things. The only thing is that it can be expensive to buy the armies. Just wondered if he has any hobbies that he can join clubs for?

My daughter loves the oxford tree books

Im from West Norfolk

This broke my heart to read. constantly on the move. Is unable to sit still for long periods of time. Did not speak until she was 3. Can communicate clearly when calm but is unable to calm herself while in a screaming session. Little incidents upset her, a question or suggestion from peers or staff can send her into turmoil. She will lash out at class mates and staff. Does not do this at home. Can be aggressive and lacks self control. Her spontaneous screaming out bursts and physical attacks are becoming more frequent. She is unable to account for her behaviour when asked why she screams she says 'i can't stop' She is very insular. She needs to be the centre of attention. She doesn't know what upsets her. Good relationship with family. Appears not to have sustain relationships with other children. Doesn't interact with other children well. She is creative, loves painting etc but gets frustrated if its not perfect. defaces it, screws it up Attendance is good but wont participate in most tasks (even registration) Wont access help - screams and hits out. Very little progress - refuses to do any written work. Will only join in any work when she chooses. We have tried and play based curriculum but often refuses this too. She screams uncontrollably Low confidence and esteem. Even if help is offered she still stubbornly refuses saying she can't do it. Outbursts usually follow a change in routine e.g supply teacher tried to take the class out to play through a different door. Developed a imaginary friend to extra-ordinary lengths and has become rather obsessed with 'Sarah' and has attacked children because they are standing on her. Plays repetitive games with repetitive dialogue. At home its slightly different in that we are ruled but routines the whole day is planned and been like this since she was 2 from the breakfast she has (wheatabix one day porridge the next) to having to see the bedtime song on cbbebies. However it seams that doing this avoid the screaming and hitting out. The educational psychologist, school nurse and the school all agree that it sounds like AS and have put in the referral. They have also brought in the Autistic team to work with her, which surprised me before a diagnosis. I worry that she will get a diagnosis and worry that she wont! I don't know how to get over this point!

Thanks Karen. We are having a bad day as it's a teachers training day and She can't grasp the fact that its a Monday and there is no school.

Hi everyone. I have two children R is 6 and J is 3. My husband has Asperger's syndrome after being diagnosed as a adult. There are currently worries about our daughter and after a CAF meeting with the educational psychologist and school nurse everyone agreed that she needs putting forward for a test asap, she often hits out at school and refuses to do work. I have days when i think yes its defiantly is and some days when I say I'm not sure. I feel guilty that I didn't see it and worried that if they no its not AS then it will be my fault. Looking for some support but feel like a fraud being here.
