Hi Monica I have just read you message, I have daughter who has aspergers she will start school in September. I feel that the school she is going to have worked hard with her keyworker from nursery arranging special visits for her to experience the classroom and daily routine before she starts. We have fought for her keyworker to go with her as she has over 2 years experience of working with our daughter. The reception class teacher has made contact with another school who have experience of dealing with aspergers. The main problem comes from the local authority with people dealing with her case that do not know the complex workings of a child with aspergers and to quote "times she will be expected to sink or swim" I have had alot to do with her new school and teacher advising them on how to deal with my daughter, especailly on the verbal comunication. The main source of asperger knowledge will be our daughters key worker. This many not be what you are looking for but if you have any questions I will be happy to answer them. Marie

Hi I live in North West Norfolk, The Norfolk LEA are pretty switched on where aspergers is concerned. It does help having Aspergers East Angila in Norwich which help parents dealing with statementing and schooling issues Regards Marie

Hello! My name is Marie I am a stay at home mum of 3 beautiful daughters aged 5,4, & 22mths. Our middle daughter was dx with Aspergers in January of this year. She is extremely intelligent sometimes it is scary, she taught herself to read by age of 21/2 yrs by using a computer program. She is a computer wiz and can do more that most adults we know, she is currently teaching herself spanish. So as you can guess sometimes we have a hard time keeping up with her speed of learnig. She loves to cuddle and she classes her big sister as her best friend. Her biggest current obsession is Dora the Explorer, she knows all the songs after hearing them once. I came through to this via Asperger East Anglia who are brilliant and offer a wide range of support. It helps to know that you are not alone and there are some wounderful people out there offering advice and support. Regards Marie
