Asperger Child

[pinkpiggy]

Hmmm.... I'm beginning to wonder about our Joe as he is very happy to be left on his own and when we have friends over for play dates they normally end up playing side by side rather than interacting. Also he has often told me that he plays on his own at school and his friends say he talks funny.

Anneliese,

That's often what happens with our son but he is getting better. Partly because he is aware that he is different and partly because the people he is surrounded by have a better understanding of Joe and can overlook his quirkiness/lack of social skills. He is able to identify for himself times when he is talking too much, too fast or simply rambling. He came shopping with me one evening and he talked non-stop in the car. After about 10 minutes he just looked and asked "mum am I talking too much".

Here's hoping you get the right sort of help for your son. If you ever feel like a chat just PM me and I'll send you our contact number.

Hi Just been for medical with my son who has asperger's and I was told to expect an educational psychologists report to be requested. Did you get residency with your son's diagnosis and can you offer any advice? Thanks
