https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/AUTISM-ASPERGERS-SUPPORT-GROUP/m-p/195427#M70096 <P class="mce-p">It's encouraging to read we're not the only ones that believe in a genetic link.</P><BR /> <P class="mce-p"> </P><BR /> <P class="mce-p">I posted here for info AGGGGGES ago, since then went down the path of a formal diagnosis, but issues with finances and distance and being generally overwhelmed didn't get a 'formal' diagnosis of Aspergers for my now 7yo son. BUT it has been a great help having 'a name' of the condition as its allowed me to research to find info and apply strategies/techniques that work FOR HIM. I have been researching any challenges we have with him and finding solutions, then using what works and keeping his teacher updated with what works so she can then adjust and apply that in the classroom/school environment in conjunction with the policies they have in place. Also any materials needed, books or computer programs or teaching aides she lets me know and I source them myself.</P><BR /> <P class="mce-p"> </P><BR /> <P class="mce-p">When I started looking into ways to help my son and it was suggested that he may have aspergers, and through researching that and looking for specialists to diagnose etc it was pretty much done on my own as every time I mentioned it to my OH the most common reply I got was "There's nothing wrong with him, he's just particular like me, he just likes things done a certain way, he's just slow to click onto info (re; school)"</P><BR /> <P class="mce-p"> </P><BR /> <P class="mce-p">Now, (and in particular after OH read a cover letter and info pack I put together for R's teacher) it is amazing, he has 'clicked' with R and more so himself. When we are talking he'll say things like "oh, that's why I didn't 'get' maths until I moved school and the nuns were teaching times tables by repetition" or I'll be having a bad day and have little patience left and get frustrated with R and OH will take over and get 7yo to do (whatever it is) how he'd like like it done/to taste/shoes tied/whatever and OH will say "I don't like XXXX, so I understand why R doesn't, here R, try this"</P><BR /> <P class="mce-p"> </P><BR /> <P class="mce-p">Also while OH and I are talking about cousins/nephews/his dad quite often I he'll stop and say "Ah, that's why XXX didn't fit in, he's so much like me" or "That's why S &amp; I click, we are so alike" or "wow, I'm so much like my old man, everyone used to say so, we we're the best of mates, but he was a grumpy old bastard who didn't suffer fools, now I understand why"</P><BR /> <P class="mce-p"> </P> Sun, 08 Jul 2012 06:04:27 GMT atmkbjr 2012-07-08T06:04:27Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/AUTISM-ASPERGERS-SUPPORT-GROUP/m-p/152362#M58909 <CENTER>A safe place for all members with friends or family with ASD<BR /> <BR /> Come and have a cuppa, share your joys, and vent your problems with other people who understand.</CENTER> Thu, 02 Apr 2009 04:29:44 GMT https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/AUTISM-ASPERGERS-SUPPORT-GROUP/m-p/152362#M58909 doll*obsession 2009-04-02T04:29:44Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/AUTISM-ASPERGERS-SUPPORT-GROUP/m-p/152374#M58914 Thanks Dolly <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span> This is still a bit hard to find from the Community link on the My ebay page, but I have bookmarked it now, it shall not escape!<BR /> <BR /> How are you faring in the rain up your way? no flooding here but apparently the Sunshine Coast is copping it.<BR /> <BR /> cheers<BR /> Rae Thu, 02 Apr 2009 04:36:58 GMT https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/AUTISM-ASPERGERS-SUPPORT-GROUP/m-p/152374#M58914 islandretro 2009-04-02T04:36:58Z https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Community-Spirit/AUTISM-ASPERGERS-SUPPORT-GROUP/m-p/152395#M58921 Yippee!!!
