Hi girls
I dont know if anyone can help at all, but i was wondering if anyone had any dealings with Aspergers Syndrome?
My 3 year old son is being referred to a paediatrician due to a few problems.. he has been showing signs of something being "wrong" since he was around 1. At 1st we thought it could be ADHD but have been told this is unlikely, however from what i have been reading he is showing signs of mild AS. I also spoke to a friend who works at a school and they agree the signs are there.
I am due to see my HV soon to sort the forms for the paediatrician and will be talking to her about it a bit more but wondered if anyone has lived with this.
I'm almost 100% sure this is what he has and to be honest i am relieved that we may have found the problem, which means we can get the right help for him. I'm not bothered if he does have it as he is the most adorable little boy in the world and i wouldnt change a thing about him, if it is AS its what makes Ethan Ethan iykwim?!
Thanks if you have read this and thanks if you can offer any advice

Well we are just back from Ethan's 1st appointment with a paediatrician and she has said we are definately going down the Autism route with him, what part of the autism spectrum we dont know yet... we are being refered to our hospital and from there we will get the full diagnosis. I dont know how i feel at the moment as now we know it feels different to saying "maybe"
