Stressed Mum

Hope all went well! My son has his appt with paediatrician on 18 May, although he has had an initial diagnosis of Aspergers from School Doctor. I must admit I am really anxious as if they say there is nothing wrong I don't quite know what I will do as I know and his teacher/TA's know that there is something not quite right and he is struggling to fit in with mainstream school (he is in reception year). Hopefully we will find out exactly what is going on and that will mean that people will start trying to understand him for what HE is. An Ed Psych was observing another child and picked up on my son initially, plus I have said since his was a babe that something wasn't quite right but couldn't say exactly what (I think GP, HV and family thought I was an over protective mother - in all honesty who isn't!!!) Good luck and our thoughts are with you. From one concerned parent to another xxxxxxxxxx

Hi All I am new to this game! My son is 5 and is currently going through all the assessments. He has had an initial assessment of Aspergers but requires more indepth assessments. Darky's description of daughter's behaviours are so similar to my son's I felt like I was reading about him - very spooky! Has anyone else had problems with other parents at school. My son can have quite aggressive outbursts and some of the parents are starting to get a little funny and have started making complaints. Has anyone else experienced these problems and how did you overcome them? The school so far have been great but as he is the first child they have had with ASD (and poss ADHD and OCD) they are on a steep learning curve as are my husband and I. Any advice would be much appreciated as feel totally alone. Thanks From one Over Emotional and Stressed Mum
