<'> thank you all for your kind words,i know it will take time,i just so thankful my son is getting the help he needs as he is in a short stay school at the moment as got excluded from his last mainstream school,now we can look for just the right place for him knowing what his needs are,i have a wonderful parent partnership lady dont know where i would be without her help,and i go to a wonderful group for parents with special needs children who are so helpful with everything.all this has made me so much stronger as a person and will fight tooth and nail for the rights of my son.

hi, after one and a half years of trying and pushing to get my son sorted out his paediatrician has said yes my son has ASD and ADHD,but cahms never really did anything they just gave him pills and sent him on his way,do i need cahms to say yes too or is the paediatrician word all i need.its funny cos i thought i be ok with the drs saying yes was ok at first then it hit me like a brick and not really sure how to feel at the moment at least its finally going the right way for us.

my son (6) has been on risperidone 0.5 mg for 2 weeks now he can have this dose twice a day but the dr said see how he is if i feel i need to give him two a day then do so,we only give him one a day and that works great with him,he is a lot calmer and not so stressed but its early days and we will see what happens, my son does not have a dx yet as they are still looking into aspergers and adhd i was bit shocked they gave my son table with no dx

my son (6) asked father christmas for a hoover and cilit bang dont think the poor man knew what to say

we dont take our son to supermarkets as he hates them, makes him really stressed and he runs off so dont end up with half things i wanted, so i now shop online and my son no longer has to go through the stress of shopping, what time we save from going shopping can now be spend taking our son out to the park or just doing something with him which is better for all of us and so less stressful, i am with the others shopping online is a god send,and i make it a game with my son i read out whats on list and he has to fined it he loves that.

my son was also permanently excluded from his school at the begining of oct, he is 6 years old and was doing same things your little one was, only he does not hit me or his dad his older brother gets it all, in a way i was glad my son got out of that school as it was not right for him the head teacher use to call him names and they did not have a clue how to deal with my son, at first i had no idea what to do but with a lot of help from parent partnership who have been a god send i got him into a short stay school were there are only 5 in his class and are trained to handle children like my son,he seem more happier now though he still has his moments i know that will never change but he likes going to school now and is happy to go every morning, sometimes i think its for the best then least you know your son will get the help he needs and hopfully a school which is right for him, hope everything goes ok i know its a real stressful time but there is light out end of the tunnel

i do say my son looks so angelic on the outside but a devil on the inside, his big blue eyes and blonde hair and a smile to melt your heart, i think thats why people are shocked when he does play up.

<'> <'> hi vicky, always here if you need a chat or a moan i have big shoulders, <'>

my son also does this will only wear t-shirts he loves his shorts too, theres me sitting there freezing and he not even feeling a thing, dont know if its got something to do with the fact he is always on the go, i find night times are hard too, he will keep his pj top on but once his in bed always takes it off no matter how cold it is, i not sure why but might be he dont like the feel of a top on when his in bed, the only way i could get my son to wear a coat is by getting him one with the colour orange on it his fav colour, but will still try and get out of wearing a coat if he can, the words but i not cold and my answer is always no coat no going out i win in the end even if he dont do the coat up, i find also body warms help but still in that case my son thinks he dont need a jumper with it, you do feel like you are just banging your head on brick wall but nice to see they all seem to do this.

my son likes to play bowling on it, he has his own style and seems to jump as he bowls but it works and does beat us, its only game we can all play together without my son getting upset and messing up the game cos he has not won, does not bother him if he does not win on the wii, he does not play on xbox or playstation much as he gets so angry if he cannot do it, its just nice to be able to play something as a family without the board going flying across the room.

thanks you all so much with your help and advice in this really hard time <'> i have been on to parent partnership and the lady from there is going over it with me and coming to the meeting with me so i not on my own, i have not had a good reason to why this has happened but i have had a feeling since september that its what the school had wanted to do,i am not going to let that teacher get away with calling my son names, he is not a horrible boy he just cannot take being treated the way they have treated him,going to be making lots of phone calls today and i am not going to let my son go through this again, i will look at every school and if i dont feel jay would be happy here i will just keep looking,end of the day i have to fight for him cos if i dont no one else will all he needs is a school that understand him i want him to be happy cos there is nothing worse then being unhappy at school,well keep your fingers crossed and hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel, thanks again for everything i will keep you all updated <'> <'> <'>

my son ho is 6 years old has just been permanently excluded, he does not have a dx yet we been see doctors and camhs for over 6 months now they are looking into aspergers and adhd, i was in the middle of getting the school to finally get a statement sorted, my son was so angry when i picked him up took me ages to get out of him what happened, turns out the head teacher was calling him a horriable boy and things like that my son cannot cope with, the have only ever seen my son as a problem, i just dont know where to turn now, i have phoned parent partnership up but waiting for them to get back to me, any help and advice would be great

if its any help you are not alone my 6 year old son offen does things like that and also would flash his bottom off and do this at school too, he also would say some very shocking things to his one to one helper very embarrassing, the school look at me as if i had put the words in his mouth, i think with my son he does not understand what he is really saying just knows its shocks people which he thinks is good, dont really have any great advice for you,but i am sure someone will have,

hi and welcome, i am always asking for help and advice on here so dont worry the people on here are so helpful dont know where i would have been with out there help they are all stars in my book

hi, you at going through the same thing i am at the moment, my son was excluded from school all last week, it is really heartbreak to hear the things that our children are doing but in no way do i blame my son, his school find him more of a pain and just want him off there hands i have asked for him to just do mornings but as always it takes them ages to get round to do anything, i dont blame you looking for a special school for your son that is what i have been doing cos i dont have any faith in my sons school any more and i do feel they make him more stressed and upset, i also shed a few tears last week you just feel so alone and feel life is always just a fight but thanks to people on this site i will fight back and know what i am doing without them people god knows where i be now. hope things get better for you and your son <'>
