Guest guest Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 my son was diagnosed at age 2 with autism after therapy and early intervention etc his diagnosis changed to aspergers and with research i feel like this diagnosis is on point. what concerns me is his emotional state children dont understand they make fun of him he is now 10 i haven't talked with him about his diagnosis he already feels like he is stupid and a loser i dont want to tell him about it and have that be the icing on the cake that its a bad thing its something he will have to live with yes and its hard for me to deal with and understand but i try to think like what he may think like for example when he doesn't remember something which seems to happen a lot we retrace what happen throughout the day to help him when he comes directly home and does homework but the very next day doesn't turn it in because he gets to the classroom focuses on something else and just spaces the fact his homework needs to go on the teachers desk I have a hard time understanding why and I am sure he does too he probably asks himself whats wrong with me all the time I'm not asking for some kinda miracle that I will receive all the answers here but should i discuss his diagnosis with him how do i make him remember important things etc any advice would be greatly GREATLY appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
