2shoes Wed 10-Jun-09 21:33:41

I will be posting next week of the joys of having to look at the 6th form college I don't want dd to go to, but the LEA do!!
so I am getting the guns ready for the battle ahead....
I only just found out that dd goes to a private school(that has it's own 6th form, where she will go)

I have ds1 aged 15 who has a diagnosis of Asperger's. I don't think there are many teens with AS or autism around here. I also have a dd and ds2.

WetAugust Wed 10-Jun-09 23:46:28

Sorry to be testing in here but it is necessary. Please ignore me, i was never here....

Lancelottie Thu 11-Jun-09 10:58:06

Ooh, I have, I have!
Can i add my shiny new teenager (Aspergers, 13, just!) to your shiny new section

saintmaybe Thu 11-Jun-09 11:10:20

Ds is 10, and has autism, but is hitting puberty shockingly hard and early (before his elder brother).

So although he isn't a teen, we're starting to face all those issues, and I don't always feel very comfortable sharing them with parents of younger dcs, or even those who are more 'typically' 10.

BigTech (MNHQ) Thu 11-Jun-09 11:25:12

Sorry again, just one more hopefully, remember never here.....

I'm a teen! For this year at least (eep 20 this birthday ) Anyway, for those that don't know me, I'm visually impaired and constantly dealing with the pain in the bum that is not being allowed to drive

2shoes Thu 11-Jun-09 12:45:59

troutpout Thu 11-Jun-09 14:27:04

marmoset Thu 11-Jun-09 16:47:20
