nan Report post Posted August 12, 2008 Hello everybody. I joined yesterday because I wanted to ask advice about my grandson. My first message was posted in the 'Help and Advice' area - I didn't find this area until just now! My grandson 'Z' is just four, and I asked advice as to whether I should talk to my daughter about Aspergers as a friend of a friend mentioned it to me. I had been talking to her about 'Z's obsession with lightbulbs, batteries and wiring, and also the problems he has with sudden loud noises. My daughter has spoken about 'Z' needing extra help, and she does realise that there might be a problem but none of us had considered Aspergers. I have heard of it but didn't know what it was. We have all thought that he may be wired differently, possibly due to being a prem baby. I wasn't sure whether I should mention it to my daughter but several people on here have said that it would be beneficial to know earlier rather than later. It is difficult though, once said there is no going back. My grandson is a lovely little boy, he is affectionate but does seem to have some social problems at times. We all want the best for him, as everybody on here does for their own families. I am sure that I will be using this forum regularly and once my daughter has taken all this in, I am sure she will be reading it too. Well, that's it for now - good to meet you all! x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
