What to do next.

Subject: What to do next. Mon Mar 10, 2008 1:18 am

Me and DH have been researching into Asperger Syndrome as we think our middle lad (nearly 2) has it, now from the look of things he has pretty much all the characteristics linked with it. We've not told our GP or anyone professional at all so what do we do now seeing as from our research he looks like he has it? scratch

your doc or HV wud be your 1st port of call,,,,,,,,,,,

thats wot i did with my eldest who has ADHD and i'm sure he has Aspergers also bt his phyciastrist sed no,,,,,,,,,,, yeah right

just tell your doc that you have firm suspicions ,,,,,,,,,,, and give examples ,,,,,,,, keep a diary for a week or so to take with you ,,,,,,,,,,, and above all be insistant,,,,,,,,, you know your child best,,,,,,, and an early dx can then give all the family the help and suppoort you all need

gd luck ,,,,,,, take care

Sounds a good idea hun, I'll keep a diary for a week or two, until I get discharged from the MW and then when the HV is visiting I'll have a word with her about it. We're definately going to be persistant about it because we know he's not 'normal'....my God I hate that word!

I know what you mean Lee.
Normal sounds such a horrible word when were saying our lo's AREN'T normal.
I think im going to do that Liz with Marc I just want someone to agree with me that for almost 4 years we have had to deal with a child that is sooooooo difficult is actually suffering from either adhd or autism!!!!!

Good luck with the diary let us know how you get on Very Happy
