Guest guest Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Hi, My name is and I'm a single mother to two boys, Sam who is 7 was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome last year and Aiden who is almost 3 and is neuro-typical (I hate that expression but saying he's 'normal' or 'not autistic' sounds worse and makes it sound like I don't think Sam is normal!). We live in England (I'm not sure if this group is mainly US based or not) and Sam attends mainstream school (he's in Year 2) where he has a Statement for full time help which is split between two teaching assistants. I'm just feeling in need of a bit of support at the moment with the back and forth with the school and how to help Sam to get through it all. He is having issues with making friends (of course!) and the 'right' and 'wrong' way to treat people. Often I find that the school slips into thinking of Sam as a naughty boy rather than an autistic boy and I feel like I am relied upon to find out information for them and to come up with ideas and solutions constantly to whatever issue he is having at the time. Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading through the archives and seeing what information I can glean, please forgive me if I ask something that's already been covered!
