Glad you got it sorted. I'm an admin on another forum and we would never just ban someone from posting with no explanation.

[Getting our heads round it...]

Hi there, I'm Julie and my son was diagnosed this week with Aspergers, problems were picked up when he was at playgroup (age 4), he is now 10 (11 in a few weeks). Good luck, it is hard getting your head around it, that is what we are still doing!!

[hi everyone :)]

Hi there I'm Julie and my 10 yo has just been diagnosed with Aspergers.

[Can anyone give me some advice on talking to my other child?]

Thank you, I will go have a look

[Such a dear, sweet boy...]

lol!! that sounds like just the kind of thing Harvey would do!!! I really want to see Karate Kid

[The LEA have named our school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Fab news!!!

[How to tell your child]

Thank you, you have both been really, really helpful. He does know we have been trying to get help for him so that should help matters when we tell him.

 

I think we both need to get our heads round it before we talk to him. We were expecting the diagnosis from the things the lady at CAHMS said during the whole process but it's still hard to take it all in.....

[Hi everyone..I'm new and nervous!]

Hi there, I just joined yesterday, don't be nervous, it seems really nice and friendly here

[Can anyone give me some advice on talking to my other child?]

We are in a similar situation, we need to talk to our 8 yo daughter about our 10 yo's AS. She knows there is something going on and we have already told her we are getting some help and once we know ourselves what is going on we will have a talk with her. I found loads of books aimed at AS for kids on Amazon but I was thinking for our 10 yo, really hadn't thought about getting books for Liv but that is a really good idea. We have a 5yo too but I think he is too young to really understand yet, although last week when we were packing up to come home from holiday he did say to his dad, Harvey doesn't make any friends when we are on holiday does he....

[How to tell your child]

This is one of the questions I was going to ask My son is 10 years old and we heard we had the diagnosis for AS on Monday. We haven't told him yet, we do intend to, just unsure how to go about it. Like others have said he is becoming aware that he is different, he gets very upset sometimes about it and we are hoping this will help him understand things better. Anyway there is some great advice in this thread and I'm going to have a look for that book now.

[Hi everyone :0)]
