| Thanks! Yes, she will be producing a report which breaks down each deficit and has given us some recommendations already in terms of accessing services, OT, etc. I think for some 'closure' to this part of the journey I felt like I needed a definitive diagnosis, but as Momsparky says, if each area ca... |

She has basically said that she doesn't quite fit into either 'box' but has some Asperger traits and some ADD traits-which I can see and un... |

| Thanks for the replies. Obviously I was not after an online 'diagnosis' and as I said we are seeing a specialist next week for assessment, we do have lots more issues with her other than the couple I mentioned. As a parent who is struggling with her childs behavior and awaiting the assessment proces... |

| I kind of know where you are coming from….as a parent to a 9yr old girl, who is attending for assessment also on the 6th August, I suspect she has aspergers/asd. I feel like a complete nervous wreck (and am usually very level headed), I have done tons of 'research' on the net and often wonder if I a... |

| My 9yr old daughter who we suspect as having Aspergers is very loud…..and always has been!! :? She talks loudly, sings, shouts, turns the volume up on the radio and TV so that others find it unbearable. We had her ears tested twice when she was 5yrs as her teacher thought she must be struggling to h... |

| Hi, just wondering if any of parents of girls with AS can give their opinions on this……a lot of the literature I have read about AS suggests that folk have a tendency to be a 'train spotter' about certain things, or have specific rituals etc, I have also read that girls tend not to be as rigid in th... |
