(I am assuming you are in Vic, by the fact your child has started prep)

we have prep up here in little old queeensland now krazy 😄

I don't know what normal is anymore

OK, didn't realise that.

Oh well, I think Autism Victoria still has a great website. 🙂

Hi

I saw this thread on the old C/W but never had a use for it until now.

My 12 yr old niece (who I have custody of) has just been diagnosed with Aspergers, amongst other things.

Any helpful hints for good books/websites or your own first hand hints, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much

Goodmorning people,

What a pain in the boom this is. I have no idea who is who unless you put your name down.

Hi woosh-ka,
To start you off

The best bookshop in the country, and they do mail orders
http://www.bookinhand.com.au/

some websites
http://www.udel.edu/bkirby/asperger/
http://www.tonyattwood.com.au/

Welcome Woosh-ka.

In my opinion, the best start is Tony Attwood's Asperger Syndrome: a Guide for Parents & Professionals. I found it in my local library. Tony also has a website http://www.tonyattwood.com.au/

I really like the Autism Victoria Website, there's a lot of good info on there even if you aren't in Vic.http://www.autismvictoria.org.au/home/

And we are always here if you need to vent :-x

Goodmorning Lisa :-x

I just have a quick look to the left to see who is who, but I am used to that from elsewhere. 😉
