what is the sally test? i've never heard of it:S

I can totally relate to this situation and i really am very sorry that you are haveing to deal with it Emma

hi, i just thought that i'd mention that Connor has to do his sats this year and because the school know of his problems and what could happen they have come to certain arrangements for him. He doesn't have to sit with all the other children doing the test he is going to a room on his own with a TA A clock will be set for the length of the exam but it can be turned of as many times as Connor feels he need so he can run around the playground if nessesary or even just to have a bit of time out then restarted again when he is ready. the TA will be able to read the question to him to help him understand them. it might be worth mentioning your fears to the teacher and then maybe you could come up with some simular plans for your son.

Hi Karen, Connor got a dx of selective mutism when he was 4 from his speech and language therapist and he got his ASD dx in Nov - apparently his S&L problems are nothing to do with the ASD and if he hadn't have had them he would have been dx AS but she couldn't do that because as im sure you are aware with AS you dont have S&L problems even though his wern't related to the ASD. Emma

Connor had a bad time with his speech and language and spent 4 years in s&l therapy (it wasn't related to his asd). He was dx with selective mutism he doesn't like music and doesn't like singing either it would be wonderful if he broke out in a song but it hasnt happened yet. Emma

I had a real chuckle to myself Neil as i read your post As i am at home in the daytime i don't watch TV at all i find it all boring and nonsence i seem to get more sence from my animals Emma

i have been told exactually the same as Connor is "coping" on school action plus he hasn't got a chance in getting a statement Emma

its really funny you mentioned this because i have done exactually the same!! when Connor was dx in Nov i just couldn't get my head round it i knew he had ADHD but as for ASD i thought "well he's just the same as i am" I am now undergoing evaluation myself . This then led me to evaluate all the family and one of my other sons defo has traits (has been dx) and my with my husband i wouldn't be suprised if he was on the spectrum either. When i mentioned all this to my mum she said well that's what i'm like aswell! so for fun both my mum and i took an online assesment and both got high scores so who knows One thing i do know is that if my son hadn't been dx then i wouldn't have looked no further and just excepted that thats the way i am it's normal to me as i have lived with it all my life Emma

it's a lovely story i wish it was more like that round here!!

i have the same trouble with my son but after talking to him he doesn't realise what he has said is insulting he doesn't mean it to be he just says im only telling the truth and doesn't see why people get upset about what he is saying

disagree
