Outreach ASD Sessions

Well, the time has finally come!

Charlotte's school has in the region of 14 ASD kids currently studying full-time and our local Autistic school is sending a bunch of Outreach workers to come and meet us all and hold 5 2 hour sessions with just us parents.

I've known about this for months and I've been impatiently counting the weeks ever since I first got invited to the sessions. By the reaction from most of the people I've mentioned this to, it's virtually unheard of, so once again I feel very grateful to be living where I do.

Now the reason I'm saying all this (yes, there IS a point!) I was wondering if we could all use it to our advantage. Does anybody have anything they really want an answer to that I might be able to ask? These people deal (like us!) every day with Autistic kids, and they just MIGHT have a solution......

The first session is on Friday, so there is time to think about it. Just let me know.....

Nice one! wow go for it and make the most of it hun

I will have a think about what i would like u to ask and will let u know!

They are going to be sorry they invited me along!

I have so many questions already, that any more won't make much difference!

Roll on Friday....

Woohoo! Go girl!! xx

This was just what I expected.
Absolutely brilliant!
This first week was a full-on in-depth analysis of exactly what Autism and Asperger's really is.
Every single characteristic was broken down, and it was really surprising at the overlap between the two, I knew that there would be one, but I didn't realise just how much it is! It made me realise just how difficult it must have been to properly dx T, for example.
It felt a bit like my first time here, after my initial explanation "My little Charlotte has PDA etc etc etc" and how PDA presents itself, I simply didn't have to explain anything else. They all knew!
We're talking about communication next week....Should be good.

Awww bless ya thinking of T, im so pleased it went well and i do hope it helps, which im sure it will!

Its so nice to know people 'know' and u dont need to say much more, roll on communication session!

so pleased its going so well

Sounds brilliant. xx
