albertosaurus Report post Posted November 13, 2009 Hi, I just thought I'd come and wave and say hello. I'm a mum to two boys, one has a verbal working diagnosis of aspergers (highly functioning / mild). He's a wonderful little boy who lightens our lives and has taught me more about dinosaurs than I ever thought I wanted to know! He is however experiencing many problems in year 1 of our local school, mainly around social interaction and refusal to engage in work. But I have given up work to be here for him and to liaise with all the agencies to try and help. Am looking forward to chatting with you all and being able to be honest and open about the highs and the lows. Al x x x x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickyB Report post Posted November 13, 2009 Hello Al and welcome to the forum My 6 year old boy has high functioning autism, and has a special interest in cars. He recently pointed out to me that newer Volswagens have a little 'VW' badge inside the headlights :0 I can't walk past one now without having a look I wish I had the time and the insight to see things like that Nicky <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sally44 Report post Posted November 14, 2009 Hello, and welcome. Have you been to any Help Programmes run by the National Autistic Society. They also do day seminars about the SEN process which is very useful. You could post the problems you're having in school in the Education forum for people to give their advice.
