Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I have a 9 1/2 yr old in the 3rd grade. He was DX this past summer. We were told he had Asperger's. We actually had the appt to check if he had ADD. We had never heard of Asperger's. We were told to get an IEP, 2 different kinds of meds,social skills classes, etc. We opted not to tell the school and not to give him meds. We did go in the 1st day of school to explain to the teacher that he takes every word literally and has some social skills problems. She was very receptive! So far this school year he has had a great year. He likes going to school. He really likes his teacher. We have him sit in front, by the teacher. We just received his midterm grades. All A's and 1 B+. The IQ test he had taken was an 82. I don't think so. I just wonder if he has Aspergers. He did take a day's worth of testing at a Drs. office. Maybe I'm just in denial. He does have a few friends. I'm in the Indianapolis area. It would be great to talk to someone else locally. He is on a tennis team and a swim team. He is also in Boy scouts. In October he will be starting a social skills class. My husband doesn't think he needs it but, it can't hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
