Re: Meeting at college

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

Marissa's mum has just messaged me to say that the meeting at college has gone really well, and the extra funding for the extra tuition has been granted, and that her tutor told her Marissais one of his best students this year, and her mum said they were allowed to go and view her work and she said it was brilliant, and that Marissa has agreed to stay on for the next four years to finish her course.

I feel priviledged that Marissa listened to me when I was giving her advise about college and I also feel proud that she is staying on, and we will give her all the support she needs.

Hi Carolyn,

Wow, that is just wonderful that you care enough to go through the trouble to find out about Aspergers and join this group. That's so great! You're son is very lucky to have a Mom like you. I hope all goes well with your son and Marrisa.ne

Hi EveryoneI've joined your group, to try to find out more about Aspergers.I hope you will take me under your wings as it isn't actually my children that have it, but my Son's girlfriend MarissaShe told me she has Aspergers, but I was afraid of upsetting her by asking what it entails as this is all very new to me.Her Mum has told me briefly about some of her symptoms, and since I have noticed a few.Her mum says she doesn't show her feelings very well, yet she is very loving towards my Son and esp my Baby Granddaughter.Sometimes we can be sat in the lounge and she is very quiet, at first I thought she was shy, but her mum says this is her way.I get on really well with Marissa and she is a lovely girl.Marissa is at college doing brick laying, and also is training to be a boxer.This week she was on about leaving college as she is struggling with the theory side of it, but both her mum and myself have reassured

her we will help her get through this, and she actually has a meeting with her tutor today to see if they can get her extra help.So what I'm really asking is how best I can offer help and support to her by having a better understanding of what her condition entails by reading and listening to you all in this group.Thank you.

Hi Everyone

I've joined your group, to try to find out more about Aspergers.

I hope you will take me under your wings as it isn't actually my children that have it, but my Son's girlfriend Marissa

She told me she has Aspergers, but I was afraid of upsetting her by asking what it entails as this is all very new to me.

Her Mum has told me briefly about some of her symptoms, and since I have noticed a few.

Her mum says she doesn't show her feelings very well, yet she is very loving towards my Son and esp my Baby Granddaughter.

Sometimes we can be sat in the lounge and she is very quiet, at first I thought she was shy, but her mum says this is her way.

I get on really well with Marissa and she is a lovely girl.

Marissa is at college doing brick laying, and also is training to be a boxer.

This week she was on about leaving college as she is struggling with the theory side of it, but both her mum and myself have reassured

her we will help her get through this, and she actually has a meeting with her tutor today to see if they can get her extra help.

So what I'm really asking is how best I can offer help and support to her by having a better understanding of what her condition entails by reading and listening to you all in this group.Thank you.
