Hi,
This site looks great. I'm the mom of a 15 y/o daughter with Aspergers. Most of the time, things are pretty good. But lately, we've been running into school trouble (again) Mostly because the teachers dont "see" B's problems. Over the years, B has become very adept at hiding her confusion and anxiety under the guise of shyness. Her teachers think I am exaggeranting (I made up this word just now)her disability, but I now its there and very real because I've know her all her life. I dont want her to be singled out at school, just to have some simple accomadations that will help her. We have all the formal programs in place, but the teachers dont overtly see her having problems, so they dont follow the accomadations so she gets failing grades.
Can I please come here for support and questions--there is a serious lack of support for AS in our community.
Thanks, Michelle

Welcome to WP!! !!

I can understand your problem because I was the same way when I was in school. (I'm 23 and in college, right now.) My mom and I had the same problem with getting help or support for me. (Even though I didn't find out about until my junior year of high school about Asperger's.) However, I can relate to your daughter because I do the same thing. People think I'm shy and do see that I have a problem. (I also have ADD and dyslexia which I've know about a lot longer than Asperger's.) I know that my mom had a lot of problems with my school because they didn't understand Asperger's and even ADD and dyslexia! So I know your problem is nothing new. So I hope find some answers here and if you have some questions about how I got through school, just PM.
