Hello, I'm new here.
My son was 6 a couple of weeks ago and was diagnosed with Aspergers this week. I'm still getting my head around where we go from here but my main concern right now is how we tell our son or even if we should. He loves books and I know there are some out there such as 'Can I tell you about Asperger Syndrome' but as they aren't cheap I wondered if anyone could recommend anything please?
I would also be grateful to hear of others experiences with telling (or not) their child. How did you tell them? How did they react? Was it a good thing or not etc?
I should probably also mention that we home school. He went to mainstream school for 6 weeks and it was horrendous, we had already looked into HE as we knew school might be a problem so decided to take him out. So far that seems to have been a good decision for him. I'm not against schools they just don't seem to be the best place for him right now.
Thanks, M.
