[QUOTE="keista, post: 438458, member: 11965"] Welcome! Poor kid. I'm guessing she's fully mainstreamed? Next Wednesday, tell her NOT to keep herself together. I'm only half joking. I DO tell my son that if teachers, subs or anyone else at school won't listen when he tries to self-advocate, he can do WHATEVER he wants. I'll deal with the fallout. Even if she bottles it in, the specialist should still be able to identify at least some of the problems. This is a HUGE difference between boys and girls with Asperger's (so I've read since I don't personally know any girls with it) Girls by nature are more in tune to social cues and etiquette. So it makes sense that a girl with Asperger's would be more adaptive as to 'almost' function as normal. My concern is that one of the teachers who says she's "fine", who forgot or is oblivious to how many times your daughter has gone to the nurse for somatic symptoms filled out that questionnaire. If they think that constantly going to the nurse is "fine" then I wouldn't really trust their judgment on that questionnaire. Have you found a school that you want her to attend? If not, I'd start looking into that. Maybe the next closest school in the district has a good Special Education dept? Might be easier to get them to agree if you already have a plan for her placement. Stick around. You've found a great place for support, insights, and guidance. [/QUOTE]
