Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hi, our 7 y/o dd was just diagnosed with aspergers and we are so overwhelmed reading up about it and worrying about her future. she also has had attention and anxiety problems for few years. I have worked hard with her at home and so she is doing academically okay at school for her age, she does not need special ed. she also has some fine motor difficulty and has clumsy handwriting. The school OT says she will give us some exercises to do with her at home. 1.my question is what interventions does she need now that we are given this diagnosis? we do not want to try any meds for anxiety or attention, as its not affecting her school performance yet. 2.what can I do at home to help her? she has trouble making friends, she keeps saying no one plays with her at recess, it breaks my heart. She also chooses to play with kids much younger than her age, she does well with them. she also does act quite immature in her behaviour,compared to her age. I constantly worry about her getting bullied as she will go to higher grades. we cannot invite friends her age, since they do not get along well. 3.our problem is that she does not fit with typical kids, but is high level to fit with most kids we know on the spectrum. 4.How do parents deal with social problems affecting kids? How can I help her get friends? Will appreciate any help. Seeta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
