The kids ... always a tough one when moving.  German schools are not easy for new kids.  That seem to be a given.  Both kids took a bit of time to adapt and they missed their friends in SA especially in the beginning.  The youngest adapted very well in the end and has a very good social life at school.  The new school year started this week and she was extremely exited to go back to school.  The oldest had it very tough.  She was mobbed (bullied) pretty badly.  She was however diagnosed with Autism 2 months ago which almost makes sense.  We noticed odd things in SA already and she has been to several therapist and speech therapists and nobody picked it up.  Looking where we are now I am very glad we are in Munich as Munich apparently is one of the cities in Germany that has the strongest support system/organisations wrt Autism.  We are still learning how to go about it.

Thanks.  Not as bad as it sounds but it does affect her social skills and speech to quite an extend.  But now that we have a diagnosis we have a direction to work and the diagnosis opens doors to extra support from medical aid and other social support branches.  She is still at a government school but to a new one where the teachers have been trained to deal with Autism.  There are 4 other kids with Autism in the school.

And it's not like she's any less of a child or any less of your child. I think we often look at it as "Oh, autism" instead of still seeing the person that is there.

When she was informed she said now she has a disability.  I said to her it is no disability, you are only different and we just need to learn how to manage these differences and she would still be able to live a normal life.
