Lemony Report post Posted July 30, 2005 Hi, i`ve only just registered for this forum and i have to say what a relief it is to be here! My son, Michael, is almost 8 years old and has been diagnosed with Aspergers. I am a single parent and have fought a long battle with school/ education authority, which finally resulted in us getting full time statementing in November last year. I`ve so much to say but instead i`m going to trawl through all the threads & posts over the next few days and hopefully gain a lot of help & information as well as maybe being able to provide support through my own experiences.

Tylers-mum Report post Posted July 30, 2005 Hi and Welcome. I too am a single parent who has fought for everything you have for your son alone. It is hard but we do it b/c we have to and we know what's best for our kids. I am currently after 4yrs of fighting, finally having my son assessed for Autism. He has a lot of other issues too but I believe he is either AS or more likely, HFA (High Functioning Autistic) He is 6yrs old. I hope you find this board as helpful and as warm as I have.

cutie Report post Posted July 31, 2005 Hey there Lemony, I have only just found this place also (exactly 24 hours ago to be exact) and have to say that it is a great place and you get very fast reponses from very caring and understanding people. I am an adult with AS, ADHD and dysleixa. Hey I totally understand about the education issues but on the bright side you fought a winning battle up to now right! Im just pleased that he will be getting the help he needs. The earlier the better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lemony Report post Posted August 1, 2005 A huge thanks for the warm welcome I`ve managed to read a few threads but not as much as i`d of liked so far due to the fact that Michael is still awake and full of energy!! A lot more energy than me for sure! Hopefully get to read much more tomorrow (or should i say today?!)...if he finally sleeps! Thanks again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lsw146 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 Hi and welcome I want to tell you that I love this forum because it is always here, it never judges but listens gently and qith good humour. The forum is never a fair weather friend and even when you can't post for a while it is still there with hope and support and lots of fun. My daughter is 11 and un- diagnosed but we believe she has Aspergers. Jo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
