Hi Nicola We had, still do , a similar problem. "A" was fine at preschool , a bit late developing but by the time he started school all was fine, until day one at school. Phone call, A has had an accident. This was in the days before schools had to take care of things like that themselves. For the first few weeks almost every day same thing. In the end we realized that it was the sound of the hand dryers and flushing toilets that was stopping him from using the toilets. What the school ended up doing was taking him to the staff toilets each break. This was an old fashioned single cubical off the corridor without a sink or anything toilet. He was then allowed to wash his hands in the classroom and dry them on paper tails. This went on for his first year at school, then the school refitted the toilets with near silent hand dryers and flushes. Then thing where OK most of the time. Evan now he will only use public toilets when he really has to. If we are on a long journey somewhere and stop at a motorway area I have to more or less drag him(fingers in ears) into the toilets and make him go.(He is 8 now) At his new school (we moved) did explain the problem to school but they had to learn the hard way. About day 8 it so. The funny thing is that before all this started when he was little part of going out was always a trip to the toilets even when he didn't need to go. It could be that in your case he is not giving himself time to finish and wetting his trousers with out even realising it. The friends thing. Yep been there. "A" just doesn't like so much going on, when at school, most of his time is spent on his own-- in a crowed. Has always been the same. Not sure if any off this will help but you are not alone. Chris.

The idea of the video puts me off. First off all I not sure about the sending a video to ?? Second my son would just sit there and say nothing. Thirdly I have no means of making a video.

As I understand it 100 is what you would get if everyone was tested and you took the "average". Less than 100 is below average by whatever. More than 100 is above average.

Hi jools As I have said before on this site, has anyone told the TA what her job is. It dose make you wonder what training they are getting. Haven't got an answer to the "friends" thing, other than school should be keeping an eye on this. Chris.

Hi Lisa For my stepdaughter we put the key on a wooden tag Abbot 9" X 2". After that it didn't go missing again. Chris.

Hi Bexs Can be.--Yes. I rehears over and over what my son will do regarding PE kit, swimming kit, etc. That is if there is a new situation. Long before we ever thought of AS we know that without this approach things were likely to go walkabout. I get my son to tell my what he has to do regarding kit on the way to school, well I did now he knows the routine and only seldom do things go missing now. We seem to be lucky in that most of the teachers he has had have been helpful with this. And I always make sure that every thing is well labeled, big letters in marker pen, out of sight. I see it from my own experience as I have have trouble keeping track of thing and tend to keep to routine so as to not lose things. If I put something down it will be lost forever. We still sometimes will be walking up the road on the way to school and then think, something wrong, NO RUCKSACK. with everything for the day in it. We are as bad as each other. It would not take to much for the teacher to remind everyone about there kit, lunchbox etc.--"Has everyone got their kit" Chris.
