If you have good teachers, start researching Asperger's on your own and provide information to them about what works best for your child. It is trial and error. We hooked in the school in December of 2nd grade and didn't get final diagnosis until May of the following spring. Keep looking for resources that can help you. We used the Courage Center her in MN. Not sure if you have that where you are. A great book about Asperger's that helps all people who encounter our son is 'Can I Tell You About Asperger Syndrome?: A Guide for Friends and Family' by Jude Welton. We give a copy of this to everyone who works with our son.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-2006767098319390972011-11-19T06:58:32.430-08:002011-11-19T06:58:32.430-08:00Steve - find a different doctor!
