dd1 has just been confirmed as Aspergic by Speech and Language and whereas we'd been worrying that she was borderline and be missed they feel that actually she's quite strongly aspergic. They listed two areas of serious concern being a complete lack of problem solving skills (but very good verbal reasoning) and very socially inept. The reason I've put "gloomy" in the heading is because they felt that because she's very bright she will be in mainstream schooling and because she's a girl she's going to have a very tough time. At the moment she's at a wonderful junior school where they bend over backwards to try and help her yet she still gets extremely depressed. What the hell am I going to do when she goes to senior school and the hormones of puberty start to kick in. Will fighting for a statement be helpful to her?
