About Me
Stay at home mum of two, one with, one without! Vegetarian family (except Dad!) Avid reader of thrillers and same with TV. Just getting used to the idea of an child with an ASD, Dad not coping at all well... That's normal though! Love jazz (not plinky plonky!) musicals, theatre - watching and participating. No organised religion, just my own.

Support Groups
Close Autism / Autism Spectrum
My son Oskar has just been formally diagnosed as having high functioning ASD/ Aspergers. Although this is what I was aiming for it was still a shock that it was very easy to get and the casual way it was dropped into the conversation with the peadiatrican. I thought I would be fighting but now I am feeling a bit at sea. More battles ahead with the school I know but can't focus and the husband hasn't caught up at all. Hasn't yet made it to ANY meetings and is not coping at all. Need help!
Treatments
- Behavior Management Too Soon to Tell
- The school have put in place some straegies in place and we are in the process of changing things at home.
- Picture / Word Schedules Somewhat Helpful
- Help at home for bedtimes and have been hit and miss at school
Close Asperger Syndrome
My son Oskar aged 5 diagnosed 3rd May 2006 with High Functioning ASD/Aspergers
Open Stress Management
My son has just been officcially diagnosed with a HFASD this is ok. The diagnosis is good, the added stress at home is not. I have always suffered with depression/stress, I took ant-depressants once, but the side effects were worse, so I prefer counselling and herbal remedies and crying alot!
