Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I am a fourth-grade teacher and have had many students on the spectrum. . . Early intervention is huge and these kids can look forward to a wonderful life. There are many older folks with aspbergers that were never diagnosed, but have found their niche with much joy! There is much hope amidst the struggles. Be assertive as you find resources for your son.

He had accommodations all during junior high and high school to give him extra time to get papers/projects done, extra time to take tests as he was not able to learn from verbal instruction well. He did overcome a lot of his problems with balance, reading peoples facial gestures, understanding double meanings with therapy. He does take Ritalin to help with his concentration, but not daily. You can e-mail me privately and i will send you some links and my husbands experience of raising him, the pitfalls and triumphs.

Or does anyone hear know of someone with this syndrome? I am trying to absorb myself in infomation. He starts a new school where they can help him and I'm sure I will also get lots more info there too. For so mant years we weren't sure what was going on, bipolar disorded, ADHD , behavioral problem (says his schools) my son is not a behavioral problem!. Anyways, he was treated for so many things and did not respond to any of them. One medication caused him to gain over 25lbs, what a waste of time and risk on his health. I glad to finally have an answer but don't really know what to do. I mean Im real good with him and have found my own ways to help him and no one else can. Anyways, any information would be great.
