Thank you everyone. I have tried to get him to do his homework tonight. wrote down all his numbers then when it got to words the paper was torn up and thrown and we had a tantrum. I don't think its the feel of the pen or paper just a fear of writing and he says he can't do it. He can!!!!! I think he is scared of making a mistake. As was pointed outmistakes on the laptop are corrected easy. He can read extremely well but would'nt read to me either. zoe

Thank you for you replies. At the minute there is nothing in place although school are being very good. So when he is angry and swears (oh yes he does this alot) he is not punished as the other children be. he is also allowed to leave class. (which he does all the time). He works in the heads office alot. I think school are just as frustrated.d But it is very inclusive. He has kicked hit swore at the staff. And he cannot tell us why. OPPS He is 7 by the way. He can't tell us why he won't write hee just hates it he says. Or its boring. When I ask why he rips up books or eats work he says he just does he feels nothing.....He just cannot express his feelings or actions. He (and his 1 friend) tied a boy to a bench with a skipping rope and left him which is not kind, But he just laughs and thought it was a joke. It was funny. And I have to say I did giggle, but am shocked that he is not aware that this little boy would be scared or upset. He just laughs. I think the boy wants to play with Cam and his friend but Cam does not cope with more than 1 person to play with he is very dominant and self absorbed. Mumble, Cameron loves writing on a laptop and at the minute I am trying to pursuede school to let him have one. But again its back to waiting for the specialist to pull there finger out. He isn't bad and he can be funny and lovely extremely clever. I actually thought he was gifted, and just bored. I accept he has aspergers and I just want to help him suceed. He is so unhappy and angry all the time. Unless he is getting his own way. Or on the laptop. Anyway, thank you. Any help in how to rush the Doctors would really be appreciated. I have to go think we are going to line up some cars. Is this just what happens to us all? I feel so alone

Hi everyone My name is Zoe and I have 3 children my youngest is in the process of being diagnosed with aspergers. I am so frustrated as it seems ro have come to a static point. We are meant to be going back in april and still no "specialist" have been into school to observe him. I am totally fed up with being told he has eaten his work or ripped up his books. It was open evening the other night and he had scribbled in every writitng book except maths which was beautiful. The school is good and supportive but at the minute I am thinking that maybe they should be thinking of alternative work when they know writing is going to trigger frustration. He is a lovely little boy, but so anxious and frustrated as he just says he hates writing/school. if he could do maths all day he would be happy. I think he has no creativity, so writing will be a problem, I also think the combination oif trying to work out what to do combined with the class noise is just making him flip. Anyway thats my moan and groan over obviously he does have other ASD traits but I just needed to vent as I feel I can't go on. Its like banging your head against a brick wall and no-one wants to help or can help untill aspergers has been confirmed, yet everyone we and school are 100% sure it willl be confirmed once they all pull their fingers out and get on with it. Sorry to moan on first post, I don't normally, I am sure though you have all felt alone at some point and I guess I just need to know I am not. Thank you and looking forward to some fun post and getting to know you all. Zoe
