Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hello all! My name is and I am a mom of 4 children ages 9, 7, 4, and 18 months. Our 7 year old was diagnosed by an IEP team with having aspergers two weeks ago. Things are still a little raw emotionally for us. Not only did we discover this news about our son, but two days later moved and had to switch schools. He is surprising us with how well he is adjusting to this new environment (he HATES change) and we believe it's from all the individualized attention he is now receiving at school. However, he's still not engaging with other children and plays alone at recess. I have two questions. One, do we tell him what is going on specifically? Do we use the term aspergers? On one hand, we don't want to seem ashamed of it (we aren't and don't want him to be) and want to use the AS language nonchalantly and on the other hand we don't want him to feel labeled. Any advice? My next question is are there things we can be doing at home to help him? He is very high functioning and discovering he has AS has actually come as a shock to us. We always knew he was a bit different than our other kids, but we just passed it off as him being quirky and funny. He really does have an excellent sense of humor. What are some good resources? We are just starting out and want all the help and information we can get. We are heartbroken at the diagnosis but are relieved, in a way, to know what is going on and that there are things we can be doing to help him learn to cope and succeed. Thank you so much for your help and advice! in California Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I admit, I am a bit concerned about your son being diagnosed in an IEP meeting. Asperger's is a medical/psychologicl issue, and most school folks are NOT qualified to diagnose it! Yes, they can certainly observe that your kid has a problem, but they are generally NOT qualified to give a MEDICAL diagnosis! Yes they can ABSOLUTELY point out that there is a problem, but they generally are NOT qualified to diagnose! Sorry, that kinda hit one of my hot buttons. Ok, setting all that aside, and assuming you get your son evaluated and diagnosed by medical/psychological folks, where do you go from here? I would say it depends on your kid. Fortunately for us, Isaac loves science, and for him, knowing what his diagnosis is is a good thing. I do think it's important to use a " team " approach when dealing with Asperger's. This means parent(s), teachers, school psychologist, doctor, etc. For Isaac, it has been very important to include him in ALL decisions. This means that any decisions aren't imposed on him by external forces, but rather that HE participates in them. That doesn't mean that he is the final word, because he is still a kid, and WE are the ones responsible for his well-being, but he is also heard, and there are indeed times when his suggestions change what the end result is. Good luck! Eleanor, San , CA Aspie son Isaac, 10.5 years old On 03/22/2011 15:38 , brennie26 wrote: > Hello all! My name is and I am a mom of 4 children ages 9, 7, 4, > and 18 months.
