i was officially diagnosed at 14 years old at CAMHS with A.S so year earlier than your daughter with puberty and hormones too can be quite confusing lost situation be involved in for parents and teens can be overwhelming /suffocating also complex and complicated emotionally seems come out more in teens due to puberty changes etc what helped me is reading books with other teens with A.S to help explain difficulties 'better' and make feel less alone ,isolated etc e.g ( luke jackson - freeks,greeks & aspergers syndrome, the curious incident of red dog in night-time - mark haddon) i had alot of MH issues at 14 ( depression / anxiety) XKLX

* i forgot to add my neice 5 years old !!!

my neice writes some letters backwards so mistakes one for the other on occasion but has started to instead write odd word backwards wrote a story at school all backwards With the letters she could read it back so she understands what it saids .... but she keeps doing it more and more and need a mirror to work out what it was saying without her help of reading she can read well for her age .... and write her name lovely .... so just wonering any ideas of what could be happening my mum is going to raise with her class teacher as just gone from receptn to year one mum says needs to be checked out incase is anything can be early steps put in place our theory could be early start of dyslexia .... ???!!! nothing else seems to worrying like concertation low self esteem etc and she finds P.E physical tasks easy not hard struggle so could this rule out dyspraxia? and with me with AS ,dyspraxia and her mum was half sister same mum different dad and think genetically on my mums's side of family could this be something or could just be nothing but does need to be kept an eye on!!! really scared for her but if spotted early like i wasn't she has better chance of coping dealing with it improving with 'right' help and support put in place! think my mum's worried as she been through similiar stuff with me she don't want history repeating itself are we being paranoid anxious over nothing?! how early can dyslexia be spotted in a child as she only young yet don't want label her just yet if she does have something we NEED to act on it! she socialise great not anx not isolated knows emotions etc so feel it can't be as far as A.S linked hope not anyways could develop into something more hoping not for her and my sister sake don't want her going through the same grief i did she such 'bright' little girl ... isn't showing any signs like i was when i was younger anything like A.S! but suppose doesn't rule it out when older fingers crossed need spare her hurt and pain .... XKLX any info advice would be helpful fanks ???!!!
