Guest guest Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I am a mum of 3, my middle child Adam is nearly 13 and I suspect he has Aspergers, I could not begin to list all the symptoms and reasons why I am pretty certain he has AS but initially I recognised similarities between him and my younger sister who has AS, My problem is that I cannot get his school to see what I see, they dont think he has AS and because his anger outbursts are always at home they think that there is a problem at home, which is really not the case, apart from the fact that he and his older brother really dont get on but that could happen in any family with siblings, I have to DRAG conversation from him but from the discussions we have had he has explained how he feels at school and how he hates it, he has run away from school a few times and sometimes refuses to go,but I make him, he was badly bullied at primary school and he has been traumatised by that to the point where he is afraid of anyone he doesnt know, he has started soiling himself again and avoids going in the canteen because its too noisy and there are too many people in there, he spends all his lunch hour in the library because he says its safe in there, where there are teachers....Recently he has said that he " might as well be dead " and I am so sad and worried for him, but I dont know who to go to for help, the school Psycologist says its not AS and they only seem to be bothered about the drop in his attendance and not his happiness. How have other people with young teens like him coped because I am so worried I am actually getting ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
