| Hi, my daughter is 10 with Aspergers. She doesn't have a full grasp yet on social thinking and I can see she's finding some English homework exercises around describing a character's traits or putting herself in their shoes quite difficult. Are there any apps or online programmes to help kids with i... |

| Thanks Amity-I'll do a search Hi Somanyspoons- Yes, my daughter has Ehler Danlos Type3, at this point it's effects are mild in comparison to what others suffer but it is an additional burden for her. Even if something does escalate with puberty , at least we'll have an understanding of why it's happ... |

| My daughter, age 9 with Aspergers and in the gifted range, is frequently worn out just by being in her environment. Her language is advanced but she finds social communication difficult. Being around people and communicating with them is difficult for her. All of this is very understandable given th... |

| Thanks for your insights. I've come a long way in understanding my daughter and seeing that there can be a lot going on behind what looks like a simple challenge. How the two kids view autism is very connected to their experience of it-My son, who is very mild, out of the blue announces fab things l... |

| Aw, Amity, I go on a forum based miles away and get an answer from close to home-how funny is that?! ! Dungannon is a long way for us but the bio for Joanne Douglas looks amazing. I might see if she has any links with middletown autism cross border. My daughter will be due to get new reports next ye... |

| Hi. I'm new on here and Irish so please let me know if any autism associated language I use is different/unacceptable to you. I've two kids with Aspergers and the supports for them are based on what we can pay for, together with a very patchy public system-It's fairly random, not a multi-disciplinar... |

| Hi, it's my first time posting here and I'm Irish, apologies if my language isn't the norm. In Ireland, anecdotally amongst parents, ASD kids are recognised as having "different" stress and illness responses. eg being very ill without fever or usual signs. In the case of my daughter we've ... |
