[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish you could meet my teenage Asperger kid. He started out how you are describing your child and now everyone who meets him is blown away by his awesomeness. I remember all too well those feelings you are describing but try to remember it really is just a new label, your child is still the sweet child he was before testing began. And, it gets better, I promise.[/quote] I wish I could too. I am just scared that he isn't going to make it in a typical school.[/quote] OP, Please do not get ahead of yourself with worries! IF it comes to his, and that is a big if, this too will not be the end of the world. DS (age 10) did not make it in a typical private or our local public, but guess what, he is doing wonderfully in his AS program and we love love love it---he has amazing teachers, accesses challenging academics, AND HAS FRIENDS! He is happy much of the time now and the specialized programming is key for a child with asynchronous development. Hang in there and take things one step at a time. [/quote]
