Thanks so much..noone explains anything round here!!!!!

I dont know if this will help...my son is borderline SEN n in a main stream school with extra support for maths n I had to get info for an independent school I want him to go to, he is in yr6 n is 4b for English and Science n 4c but only just 4c in maths....not that it means owt to me as ive no idea what any of it means lol.

I wonder if this is the same in Disney Paris cos we are off there at the end of the month.....do I just take the dla letter?

O my god I could have written that myself.......I watched this on iplayer n yup antoher who cried n the lad with aspergers was like watching my lad at times. And dp turned round n said 'others are worse you got it easy'...could have killed him tbh!!!!!!

I just googled independent schools in ...then my area n they came up. Fortunately tho I heard of the one im sending my son to in Sep 2010 thru his chapel n he asked me could it be considered cos he did not wanna go to comp cos the bully will be there.

People think im joking when I tell them my son dont even wake til 10am xmas day...he plods downstairs n you got to prompt him to open his presents n they are only ever what he asks for cos anything he didnt put on the list might as well go in the bin for the interest it gets...my poor mum last year bought him something n he just looked at it n walked off.......by time he has opened his stuff n had his dinner he then just wants to lie down in a dark room cos he has a stinking headache n gets really stressed. He told me there is no santa cos its the parents who buy the presents cos you can see everyone in the months before xmas. He loves the tree tho n decorating it n the lights etc.

My son wants to join Facebook as some of his 10 year old mates have it but ive said no...if the age is 13 then 13 he will be before he has it.

My son hates loud noises esp hates bonfire night n fireworks but also discos/parties n the music n noise n if my other half is going to use the drill then my son will be found with ear plugs in n a pillow wrapped round his ears.

My son is 10 and will not and can not wipe his bumb after a number 2...he hates the idea of germs being there n possibly going on his hands and when he does try which entails wrapping numerous amounts of baby wipes round his hand and wrist he ends up with it up his back n down his legs......O/T are involved and we try their tips but so far im getting nowere.....he was also clean by age 3.

My son hates maths bigtime and struggles daily with it especially his tables.....his teacher is putting into effect one to one for him with maths cos he struggles so much.

My son is 10 and is struggling big time with maths and esp his tables...he learns them but within 5minutes has forgoten them totally and trying to do any sums useing tables he finds impossible.

My son was 3 weeks late and born dead n had to be revived..they didnt know if he would live or if due to lack of oxygen he would be brain damaged in some way....he was in intensive care for 7 days high dependency for 3 days then 2 days close monitoring on the ward.

Thank you so much for explaining it from what would be my sons view point......it does make sense definatly...thank you for taking the time to reply. By the way we are in South Wales too.....

His last school worked totally against me all the time but the current school is fantastic and cant help enough and in turn I cant praise them enough.

My son was bullied mercilessly and in the end I had to move him to another school cos he was suicidal.....I really think you do need to intervene and go up the school.

Hi. My partner reckons ive got the same as my son and just not been diagnosed, but that might go toward explaining why a lot of what he is like or does does not seem 'odd/different' etc, but the biggest thing I find hard is seeing him constantly bullied for being different and having no friends at all...he says he is ok about it but I can see deep down it upsets and hurts him but if he attempts to discuss it he cant he just cries.

Im so sorry to read this ive got a lump in my throat cos until recently this was my son...from age 3 thru to age 9 he was like this...id pass on times walking the dog to check n he would be by himself or being bullied...never joining in playing.....it got to the point with the school that I had to place a formal complaint n involve the local education authority and police and in the end I changed my sons school.....the reason im telling you this is cos I am now armed n know more but when he was little like your son I kinda tried not to kick up a fuss itms....you need to go up and see the teacher and tell her what has been happening and ask them what they are going to do to sort it out....huge hugs to your lad.... <'>

My lad will only eat about 6 items of food n then only if cooked a particular way otherwise he involuntarily brings it back up.....his packed lunch is 5 Tucs(he dont eat bread in any form), dairlea dunkers the nacho ones, a yoghurt pouch, a bottle of flavoured water, ready salted hulla hoops and sometimes a penguin cake bar. We are the same the only way my lad will ever try something new is if it is his idea.......til recently it was 5 items of food but he got braver n braver n now will eat 2 chicken dippers so long as they are battered and not breaded n cooked til crispy.

This is exactly what happened with my son he was systematically bullied by 2 kids for well over a year n nothing was ever done even tho I complained to the school, lea and police...in the end my son changed schools and is still too scared to go out unless it is directly to the car...he was even suicidal over it.

Not sure what to advise tbh but my son is the same...as he leaves school it is like a switch goes in his head n he is like the devils child. As for going out gawd dont ask........

I am a staunch atheist and also anti politics, anti monarchy and anti war..................my son age 10 is extremely religious(it literally is his life) and is a baptized English baptist and wants to join army cadets age 12 n join the army age 16.....but as to whether thats cos he has an some form of autism I dont thinks so tbh cos my nephew is n/t n his parents are Jehovah Witnesses but he at age 7 adamantly wants to leave n dont believe any of it.

My son begins yr 6 in Sept but I bean looking at school in April while he was still in yr 5...in Oct/Nov ive got to choose the school I want him to go to.....he is not going to the local comp tho as it is really rough n recently a kid got stabbed by some other boys!!!!!

<'> >< <'> >< We have exactly the same here...my ds has 1 friend n they do nothing together out of school cos ds wont leave the house incase the bully boy is out so basically it is me n ds each n every day...when I walk the dog I see all the other kids out playing n know it aint even entered their head to knock for ds not that he would go if they did...it breaks my heart n I often cry for my son over it.....no advice but didnt want you to feel alone..... <'> >< <'> ><

<'> >< Must be in the air, im having a day like it today.....feel like im going round in circles chasing my tail n getting nowere fast.....it is hard isnt it but esp so on 'bad' days......hope today is better for you. <'>

Couldnt read this n run cos my lad is the same...he turns 10 in a few weeks n is really uptight and upset over it n say he wishes he could have stayed younger, dont want to grow up or get older or bigger, wishes he was still 4 or even a little baby.....no idea why n no idea how to deal with it tbh.....he dont 'do' birthday partys for him at all....ironic thing is tho he dont wanna get older but on the day he likes to go for a meal at a really grown up restaurant with me n his dad.
