Good for you to post this.

Very important for young parents to realize their child have special needs.

I have a son diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome along with ADHD. Asperger's (aspie) is one of the spectrum of Autism.

It is important to know that there are no cure for autism. Those people who says this or that traditional medicine can cure it are only bullsh1tting. The only way to help kids with autism is to train them to improve whatever deficiency they are having. For eg, speech improvement or better hand/eye coordination.

my son is 6 now. Coming 2011 school term, he will be going into standard one. Which I am very concerned about.

Child with special needs like my son need a lot of training. Like even proper method of breathing. Eg, through nose and not mouth. Need to train how to wash hands, going to toilet and so on. Now trying to train him on adapting to the new school.

Also, it is VERY VERY important to have a teacher that understand such needs. If the teacher your child get in school knows about such conditions and know how to take care of such child then you are lucky. Stay with this teacher. If you are unlucky and get lousy young teacher who is not bothered to enhanced his/her knowledge on child with special needs then ditch that teacher.

Ryansia, are you sending your son to any special classes? Like NASOM (National Autisme Society of Malaysia) or other institutions?

I am sending mine to a weekly class where they have a group session that teaches them things like communicating with others, interaction with friends and so on. Kids with asperger's syndrome have social skill dysfunction. Problem is, the fee per session is very expensive and the other kids attending sometimes are unable to attend causing classes to be very rare.
