asperger solution

Adolescence represents the most dangerous time for our children . They are at their most vulnerable and the education system is at its most demanding .The health system is not geared up to deal with the fall-out : The incidence of Depression is high . Prevention is the only show in town .

This site is the product of 18 years parenting a child with autism (high functioning) and 25 years teaching in secondary schools . There is a free download which has helped some parents in Ireland get school-generated stress levels down . If they enter adolescence with a disability and exit adolescence with a disability AND mental health problems we shouldn't kid ourselves that the ' blues have come out of the blue' . It's a shocking and painful waste ; our children have huge potential which often founders on the rigidity of conventional schooling ..I think there is a need to more closely define 'inclusion' and stop confusing it with mainstream school placement . We need to 'personalise' their education in order to minimise their stress and maximise their self-esteem . School is not the same thing as Education . And sometimes it can even undermine Education .
