Hi all,
My names Diane, married to Steve. Two children, Briony (8) and Matthew (6). Matt has a diagnosis of a severe language disorder - described by some professionals as semantic pragmatic disorder. No one as yet has labelled him as having an ASD, most want to appear to keep him seperate from ASD and focus more on the language.
He is in mainstream school with a full statement and is learning good stuff every day.
A few questions and issues are forefront.
Managing challenging behaviour (the only thing challenging about it is that it isn't what people consider 'normal') and getting Matt to understand his boundaries.
Managing our worries and concerns for his future which are quite raw.
Balancing our support between our son and our entirely uber 'normal' daughter - Briony shows no signs of problems and in fact the two of them are incredibly close - sould we be watching out for problems?
Q: Has any one used an ionkids gps at all to keep track of your little ones? http://www.ion-kids.com/
Q: What about this semantic pragmatic disorder business? I know the NAS doesn't use it but.....
Blimey, just how do I fit our entire life into one post!!
Diane
