My DD was recently diagnosed with Aspergers. She is a bright kid so academics are not the problem. Our main areas of focus at this point are social skills and controlling meltdowns. We have a lot of information on Aspergers as a diagnosis so we are looking for information/books on strategies or guidelines that will teach her social skills/interaction and how to handle meltdowns. We're really frustrated because we live in a small community and her social interactions are limited to school and a few kids her age on our street. The school is being of no help at all even though they have established an IEP and are legally obligated to give her 30 minutes of counseling a week. We just found out a few days ago this isn't happening. We're not happy and are contacting the counselor who is supposed to be taking care of it. Anyway, that is a whole other problem, but because of it, my DH and I feel like we have been left on our own to establish anything that will teach her the necessary skills. We just feel really lost right now and have no one here we can turn to for help. If you have any suggestions, information, books, websites, anything that you have found helpful, we would really appreciate whatever you can give us.
Thanks,
Carrie
