joanc12 Report post Posted September 28, 2009 Hello I have a 12yr old son who is awaiting diagnosis of Asperger's. He has just been refered to the ASD Team. Things came to a head when he changed schools last year. The waiting is the worst as we want to be able to get him the help he needs and are unsure he is at the most appropriate school. Glad to find this forum as only beginning to gather up all the information I can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trekster Report post Posted October 5, 2009 Hello and Welcome i hope you manage to get the diagnosis and support your son needs. i had to wait until i was 16 before i got diagnosed. Now im living in my own place in a supported housing scheme. Its good but not as autistic friendly as i would like it to be. i hope to help the housing association to learn more about autism and how verbal autism such as mine often hides difficulties they cannot see.
