My DS is just 7 and was dx with AS about 18mths. He also has dyspraxia which he sort of knows about as he is having ST and OT. Not sure I gave it a name but he knows he finds things harder than other children.
However, we have never sat him down and said he has AS, partly because for a while we didn't believe it and partly because he was too young to understand.
Now he has started the juniors I am wondering if we should tell him.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks.
