| Thank you for your responses, it have helped me get my head around it. Just to clarify, I would tell someone when there would be a issues popping up with DD's behaviour to help understand so they didn't think she was being disrespectful as well. I didn't tell people straight away and a lot never kne... |

| Hello all, I had an interesting conversation with another mum, she was saying her DD is having trouble with learning at school but her DD didn't want any help or seeing anyone as she has seen how mean kids can be to my DD. I get the feeling that some parents think its wrong to tell fellow parents th... |

| Another thought is have a social story written up of what to expect with time and the subjects the class does. E.g, D goes to school, school can be fun, D and class friends do different subjects, these subjects can be maths, English, art, etc. Each subject the D and the class will spend 1 hr. It's g... |

| My DD has twisted the truth about school work sometimes too. Usually because she's just plain doesn't want to do it. I would approach this with making sure he does have an understanding of what ever homework it it is first whether about a super hero or anything else. Have you got on the computer and... |

| Our daughter was tested at a similar age originally too, l was told by our specialist that testing is better at around 5 years of age to get a better idea of what is happening for them. So maybe look apon the report as a starting point and l'm sure you will be seeing other specialist along your jour... |

| Hi everyone, I'm just curious what line of work adults with Aspergers are doing and whether you are happy? My daughter talks about a few different things she wants to do when she grows up but my biggest wish is for her to be happy with what ever she finds works best for her. Thanks in advance :D |

| I'm both a teacher and a mom to a child with autism...I would just send an email to the teacher asking her to shed some light on that particular incident, and also ask if she could let you know whenever a safety hold has been used. Can they have a communication book to write in and put in his bag a... |

| That's the problem with big classes it hard for the teacher to keep on top of everything. Another post suggested they teamed up your DD because the boy has a history of other children complaining it was hard when sitting with him. This sounds like it may be the case. The problem with letter writing ... |

A friend of mine also used the weighted blanket for her son to use after he had a meltdown, it would help calm him. So they can be a great tool too.  |

| Can l also say you are grieving and people grieve in different ways. People think you only grieve when someone passes away but grieving can be over any upsetting change/challenge/loss in your life. Let the tears flow as that is very normal and healing. Can l also say that every achievement your boy ... |

| My experience with teachers is you have ones that are attentive to all the kids (you will find these teachers calls the kids their kids, tear up at their achievements) and you get the tough love teachers. My experience for my DD is the tough love teachers don't gel with DD as she needs more nurturin... |

| I asked my friend and she talked her boy through it with the games and hitting his brother. She would use logic with 'if the games upsets you, you should stop playing' 'the game is meant to be for fun and to learn things, not to get upset' ' go slow and learn how the game works' all in a calm voice.... |
