Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi all, I need your advise. My 11 years old will be attending a main stream catholic high school next year and we had a meeting with the school co- ordinator today and he informed us that the school tells the students with autism/Asperger syndrome(can remember the spelling) that they suffer that condition for them to understand why they are different in so many areas. I told him I don't agree with that view as I feel that telling a child that he has Autism/asperger will help him in any way and that as his mother I have the right to decide if I want him to know or not that he has been given that diagnosis. My opinion is that our kids are sick and that is the reason for their behaviour, social issues, delay and lot of areas and feeling so unconfortable most of the time. Please let me know what is your opinion about this issue, as my son has never been told that he has autism, all I keep telling him is that he is sick and that why he feels anxious and annoyed by certain things sometimes and that the reason he is on a diet and takes supplements to help him to get better. I would like to know what the rest of the group tell/has told their kids? As I have to make a decision either to allow the school to tell him or not to tell him.
