[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Waiting a year won't magically make things better. I know from experience. My parents redshirted me because I have Asperger's Syndrome. Guess what? Even being a year older than everyone, I never fit in socially, which makes sense. At 22 years old, there are social concepts that 7 year olds understand that I don't. I could have been help back twice, 3 times, 4 times, however many times, and I still would have struggled socially. Waiting a year did not solve any of my problems. It just delayed them.

You have no idea.  So, pick up a social cue, stop trolling the SN board.[/quote]

He's not trolling, he's offering his perspective as an adult with similar issues as many of our children, including the OP's. I appreciate his perspective. It's not easy making decisions in my child's best interests without knowing how he'll think of those choices as an adult.[/quote]

Take this post with a grain of salt.  Your post doesn't come up in recent and has gone "below the fold" on the SN forum.  This person may in fact have Asperger's, but had to search for this post.  Plus, he/she is generalizes about what goes for "a lot of disabilities."  Being on the spectrum doesn't give you expertise into other disabilities.

My SN kid repeated K and doesn't give it a second thought 10 years down the line.  My NT spouse's parents delayed K and the same goes.   You do what you think is best for your kid.[/quote]
