Resources

[cobweb]

I'm looking for resources for Asperger Syndrome. Website links, book recomends,... I'd appreciate anything.

My 8 year old son currently has a diagnosis of ADHD (severe) type ODD. His Psychiatrist isn't ready to change his diagnosis yet, but his therapist and the school psychologists are positive that he has Aspergers.

This is very new to me and I'm pretty sure that I don't know what I am doing.

Try the UKs National Autistic Society they have many 'links'

Tony Attwood is THE expert on Aspergers,
Simon Baron-Cohen runs research into autism and its co-morbidties and where the bounderies between them blur.

CHADD should be a good place to begin netwroking on ADHD.

I recommend The Explosive Child as a book to read if your juggling ADHD/ODD and an ASD.

Hope that helps.
