I have an eight year old daughter who is a recently diagnosed Aspie.

We are all new to this. The school doesn't know it yet, and she is passing reasonably well, though it obviously takes immense effort. Luckily, it is a highly academic school and since she is very clever, at least her academics give her some standing within her class.

We are currently living in one of the former Eastern Block countries and although she goes to an international school, she has plenty of local classmates whose parents would be less than understanding if they found out, so 'coming out' is tricky here.

We also have no access to English language counselling or any form of therapy, so it is going to be a long and winding DIY road. Hope to find lots of useful stuff on here.

She is a smart, fun and fantastically talented daughter and I hope to be able to smooth her way to success.
