Mumof2 Report post Posted August 7, 2009 Hi everyone, I am delighted to find this forum! My eldest son, aged 4 1/2, has Asperger syndrome. He is usually a clever little darling but sometimes he is a real handful! He is starting fulltime school in September. Learning is no problem for him; he taught himself to read and has a head full of knowledge already. socializing, sharing, sitting still are all problems for him. I wish I could delay his start by another year! He doesn't yet have a statement in place so I'm not sure how he'll do. My youngest son, aged 3 1/2, doesn't have the socialization problems but I'm concerned he is very rigid and very routine oriented. My husband also shows signs of having AS but he is not interested in looking into it. At the moment I am looking into starting the GF/CF diet. My As son is very addicted to milk and will only eat "soft" things. I have already decreased my youngest son's milk, and it improved his sleep tremendously. (He was waking up a few times a night, having bad dreams and scratching himself all over...) It is lovely to find a place with others who are sharing the same experiences of joy and frustration!
