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!

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!
