Hello... Bard and another person told me about here. My name is Louise and I have 3 children All 3 of my children are dx Aspergers. My DH is a non-dx Aspergers. My Youngest (YS) is also ADHD with dyspraxia. We live in Scotland. My ES (14+)is in mainstream school supported by Autistic Base staff - he only goes to the Base unit for meal times and breaks and PSD lessons. He was dx when he was about 8 although we knew that there was something when was 2.5yrs old. My DD (10; 11 in 3weeks 2 days as she keeps reminding me) is in mainstream school with no support at all ...although H/T has said that due to DD's behaviour she can't go to Holland next year. She was initially dx 'oppositonal/confrontational when she was 7yrs and after a fight by me was finally dx Aspergers when she 9yrs. My YS (8+) has just had the world's worst year in school and in August will be starting at a new mainstream school in their Autistic Base. He was dx when he was 6. Looking forward to meeting you all.

I applied November 2005 for a Disability Adaptation Grant towards an extension to our house for a room for my daughter - who has Aspergers - we were assessed by OT and it was decided that she was a level 2 priority and we were given a grant for it of almost �19,000. She finally moved into her new bedroom in October 2006(last year) and it has a made a major difference to both her and the rest of the family. Perth Care and Repair helped us with the Grant application.
