my child has just got asperger's diagnosis,do i tell him,and what do i say?help!!!

[crazypanda]

after almost five years my child has been diagnosed,it's still not sunk in for us,but do i tell my teen?.Does anyone with this experience have any advice for me please?.

hi crazy,i'll check the new thread later but we do have a statement for aspergers. i do know other people who have a statement for same reason in the county though the LEA are very fond of saying they dont give statements for AS

I was advised to explain my DS' ASD as being 'wired differently'

At 6 he's too young to take it on board, but he does know he's different and says so.

I'll give it a couple of years.
