  1. Hi, My son is 14 and has Aspergers. He is in a mainstream school, and academically he does well. However, he has been bullied on and off for the last 3 years. It is mostly verbal stuff, but the kids concerned are in most of his classes, so he has them all day. I have been into school, and they have dealt with specific incidents straight away, but as far as my son is concerned, this only makes things worse, as the kids know that he has told on them. At the moment, he will not let me go into school, and insists that he wants to deal with it (using violent methods, which I am trying to dissuade him from) but I do not know what to do for the best. Does anyone have any advice???? Purpleangel xx
  2. Good idea - I might pinch it and use the money to pay for Chris to go to a great private school that I have found. However at ?40,000 a year, it is a long way out of my reach... well, i can dream....
  3. Thanks for that - it is good to know that I am not going mad. I thought that he was totally wrong, but you know what it is like.... these professionals hold so much power over our kids, and sometimes I feel as if i am banging my head against a brick wall just trying to get someone to take me seriously. I really wish that Chris would 'lose it' at school, so they can see what he can be like......
  4. Hi, My son is 12 and I think that he is becoming more 'autistic'. He has a dx of AS, which he will not accept. Recently he has started to seperate all of the food on his plate into totally seperate piles, he has decided that he cant use our towels because they irritate his skin (although they have been fine for a long time) and is becoming tactile defensive again. He gets upset when younger kids wont play with him, and he takes thing s really personally (if he understands them at all). I have been told that puberty makes a huge difference for our kids, so for now, just hang in there and take it a day at a time xxx
  5. This is my son aswell - absolutely brill at school and then collapses at home. Some days he is absolutely fine, others he is most definitely ASD. He has taken to seperating all of the food on his plate (nothing can touch), setting up routines for himself, and twirling his hair. We have never had this sort of behaviour before, so to me he is showing more signs of ASD than ever before.
  6. Thanks Col, I will try keeping a diary and see how we go. Hope you are not feeling as raw tomorrow. xx
  7. Hi, my son is 12 years old and was diagnosed with Aspergers at age 5 in berkshire. We have a statement giving him 15 hours of support, but since moving to North Yorks, we have hit one brick wall after another. He is really good at school as it is in the rules that he has to behave. When he gets home it is another story!!!! As a result of this though, very few people have really seen him 'lose it'. Our latest set back is that his new psychiatrist has suggested undiagnosing him because he doesnt like the fact that he has Aspergers and has never really come to terms with it. Taking away the label wont make it go away. I am at a loss as to how to fight this - any suggestions?
