beachnut Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 My 15yo was just diagnosed with Asperger's. Is there a sub-group or speciality group within TWTM board devoted just to parents of Aspies? I know there is the Special Needs sub-group, but that seems to encompass a wide variety of issues. Just wondering if such a group exists and, if so, how do I join? If not, does anyone know how to start one (if there is enough interest)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Nope. It overlaps so much with a number of other labels, so everybody is just lumped together. However if you find someone you resonate with or who seems to have the same issues you're having, remember you can do an Advanced Search and read the books for that person's posts. You can multi-click on the search options there and search say the high school board AND the SN board. Sometimes SN parents are on the hs board sort of in cognito. Not that they're hiding, just that they meld in. Just gotta know who to look for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnella Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 My DS is an Aspie too. He's been diagnosed for a few years, but we've only been homeschooling for about a year and a half. We'll be starting 8th grade in a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
