Aspergers or just gifted?

[Aspergers or just gifted?]

Hi Diane, I'm new to all this but if I understand correctly, SALT is Speech and Language Therapist.

[Hello]

Thats what I'm hoping lindy...thanks all for welcomes.

 

We have a 2nd assessment with psych today, Sensory profile completed by OT on monday and school have referred to ed pysch so things are moving. Having to pay for it all ourselves unfortunately as 9 month wait for asst by local CAMHs!!

 

Main concern at the moment is DS biting.. usually me and dad, but last night was biting himself. Feel really sad and powerless to help him at the moment although me and hubby have worked out a lot of coping strategies for ourselves. School 'don't have a problem' ARRRGH!

 

And breathe..............

[Hello!]

Hello Epyon, I'm new here too. Welcome!

Hello Linnet, thank you for the welcome.

 

I'm quite overwhelmed reading some of the topics/threads - starting to think the journey will be a long one

Hello, I've just become a member. We're in the process of getting a diagnosis for our 8yr old son - initial assessment indicates Aspergers, ADHD and sensory defensiveness, as well as possible dyslexia??

 

Currently feeling bewildered, sad, angry, overwhelmed and a hundred other emotions
