Thanks for replying MrsMac and Lulu. I will call Chitra at her Donvale rooms to book an appt for DS.

I feel so sorry for him. i wish there was a way that i could help him function/socialise better at school.

MrsMac- you should have suggested that you thought he might be a bit Aspergers, honestly, with you being a teacher, i would have really appreciated it. I am not one to take offence to anything which is said to me easily, if that is what you had thought.

I was just reading about Aspergers before and the kids taking things that are said to them seriously when they are just sarcastic made me remember an experience with him.
Me - "lets just pray that the weather is great on Saturday"
DS - nods his head.
A few minutes later, i see him mumbling something.
Me- "what are you doing DS?"
DS- "well, you did say lets pray about the weather, so i am"


That's only one of the things that is like him.
Babe I would NEVER suggest it to anyone, I have a friend at school whose son is aspergers and she said that she hated anyone telling her until SHE was ready to deal with it.
I love that completely literal thinking they have, also their awesome general knowledge and how they are so excited by interesting facts.


Sally- huge hugs.
