[quote=Anonymous]Not the parent of a child with ASD, but our DS has learning challenges, ADHD, and anxiety. He too is in an immersion school and went to bilingual daycare. Trying to raise a SN child bilingually has its additional challenges but it is definitely doable. Perhaps the most important thing to do is ignore various professionals who may not be knowledgeable about bilingualism and counsel you that it's too challenging/confusing. In DS' case, he understands the second language perfectly but has a harder time speaking it. Reading and writing issues also manifest themselves in the second language -- just as they do in English, although there will be differences based on the nature of the second language. Good luck, OP![/quote]
