Introduction

[Guest guest]

I've been lurking here for a while and thought I'd should pop out

and say " hi " . My name is Rannveig and I live in Norway. I see most

of you are located in the US, and although there are cultural

differences and different school systems, I can relate to many

postings here.

It's my 14 year old son that brought me to this list. He isn't

diagnosed, and I'm not even sure he will be, but I do recognize a

lot of the " features " of an AS in him. We've always thought of him

as a little " odd " , not fitting in, and also not willing to bother to

fit in.

He's in 9th grade, 2nd year in what I guess would be the equivalent

to the " high school " . The possible AS diagnose was brought up by the

school this spring, and he has now done a WISC III test, an ability

and maturity test. The profile of the test was not typical AS, but a

diagnose requires more than just this test.

Seems like you are a supportive and knowledgeable group :-)

Take care,

Rannveig/.
