Hi my best friend has aspergers, she wasn't diagnosed until a year ago. She was shunned by her parents that are in denial about the diagnosis. She has always known she was "different" but her parents never took her to see anyone. She is now writing a book from the perspective of a child/young adult growing up with asd.
I was wondering if you felt as parents this would be a good source of knowledge and reference for you, do you think it could help other parents when their child is diagnosed?
It covers everything from bullying at school she suffered, her making friends, interacting with her family, her first boyfriend and her transition to uni.
I would also like to know if anyone in here would like to volunteer to have a read through of what she has written so far (warning it is heart rending). She has very low self esteem and I really think it would make her believe in herself and what she is doing if she had positive feedback.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thank you :)
