Also posted this in SN teens but have been advised to post here as well because of more traffic.
I ask because my DS (age 14) is about to start assessment for Asperger's via the NHS. He doesn't yet know that I have asked for the assessment to take place, and now I'm wishing I'd done it years ago.
I have always encouraged DS to believe that he is capable of anything he wants in life, and I don't want him to use this an excuse to hide behind (he has v lazy tendencies at the moment).
So what did you tell your child?
