| Résumé : |
Sophie is a 14 year old girl who has only been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome this year. In this article, she vividly describes how she feels and how her problems have been so hard for others to understand. Her parents have added to this account. It is a powerful piece and Sophie is keen to make her views known to help others understand why she feels and acts as she does. There will be many others in school, like Sophie, who are struggling, particularly with the social aspects of life and her descriptions will be very valuable in enhancing the awareness of staff and peers. Despite her high levels of anxiety and stress, Sophie is doing very well academically and it is likely that her high intellectual ability and very good speech and language skills have masked the problems she experiences. It is vital then that staff and others also find out from pupils how they are feeling emotionally, particularly in relation to social interaction. |
