OPooh

Could she borrow one? Would it make a difference if it wasn't technically hers?

lmao do we have a source to reference - that's too funny.

Thank you all It's my 3rd. Ds with aspergers is 9 I got a nearly 2 and half year old and now pg again.

Going to the hospital tomorrow but know it's all gone....sorry.

Erm well - may just give that one a miss

Sorry I don't have an answer but this sounds very frustrating for you and so I wanted to offer some <'> >< <'> >< <'>

Yes it is - it's the hormone present in sperm

It's sad to watch my two boys. DS with aspergers is 9 and just doesn't understand when his 2 year old brother jumps on him he's trying to play - not attack him

I'm having this problem too. And as it's me that wants the communication they aren't really bothered - bet it would be different if the boot was on the other foot. Good luck with it....I've given up trying currently

Do they give him any help for it? I'd be complaining if they just try and suspend him without helping address the problem - personally. good luck with it.

The ed psych agreed she did think he was borderline - but on the asd side. That his problems are ASD ones. Was quiet odd actually because the SENCO (who had previously said she didn't think he has it) said that more she gets to know him the more she thinks he has aspergers. Me personally, I just think she's learnt more about it. The big thing came with christmas and him acting as I predicted to them....he was doing so well until the break and the routine. Thanks for asking

That's disgusting. And yes to the pm please. Would like to help

This is what happens with my ds. They are going to help him more with his social skills during circle time. Make use of social stories etc. Many of the games kids play on the playground have changing rules - and my ds can't handle them. Also the school are planning to have more structured play at playtime, such as board games, reading comics etc - and this means they will be more supervised. Good luck with the meeting .

Thank you. Will just have to wait and see then. Might convince ed psych this afternoon too yet.

<'> Sorry for delay in response But what makes you think that she DOES think it is a parenting issue? Is this what she has TOLD you? Or is it how you feel?

TBH my opinion it's probably a bit of both. But I'm still waiting to find out whether my ds definitely has it. My son doesn't use expression in his voice at all (and from SALT report I'm assuming that is a characteristic), maybe what your son is doing is that he's realised people talk in different tones and speeds and has just tried to use them.

My son got a home/school diary for this reason (I suggested it to the senco). She thought it such a good idea that this other lad was given one too. It was fine until they had a new teacher this year - and she;s like he don't need one. TBH I just don't think the teacher wants to find the time to fill it in Good luck with it.....I'm going to mention it to the ed psych tomorrow.

TYVM for that. Appreciated...makes me feel much more clearer about tomorrow too. Thanks again.

Thank you very much for the reply. Aw brought a tear to my eye too. He is just turned 9 too. Thanks again - means a lot.

so do you think that being as my ds is seeing ed psych, paed and salt then it will matter if the ed psych thinks there's "nothing" wrong even when the pead clearly thought he has definitely got it?

My son is finally being seen by the educational psychologist tomorrow.....and wellI'm abit concerned that she'll just say there is nothing wrong with him. Well firstly I wondered if this is normal to feel this way....it's taken me a long time to accept that there is something wrong with him and not me (and even writing that was hard). My main problem is academically he is fine. And as long as things run according to plan, and he knows what is going on, and isn't moved seats for no reason - then academically he can get on fine and is top of the class. Now I'm sorry for saying that because it feels like I'm rubbing people's noses in it - but I would exchange that anyone for what his problems are - and they are socially. He can't handle change, needs everything predictable, must be told what to do all the time - and can't playand have friends. I'd love anything that he could just know what he should and shouldn't do at playtime. He often gets hurt (boy had him by the throat yesterday and school say it's my ds' fault for winding him up). I'm afraid that the ed psych isn't interested in this though because it's not actually much to do with his "education" - it's more playtimes and things. Don't get me wrong he has trouble with language (literal speaking, idioms etc) plus reading and writing fiction. Anyway I wondered if it's normal to feel this way and whether people will think the ed psych will be interested in this - and what I should say to her. Erm as you may tell I'm really anxious - it's taken over 7 years to get them to assess him again - and this time it was the school who mentioned it. Thanks in advanced for any replies. Hugs always greatfully received

<'> Hi hun I know exactly how you feel. I find it hard just to play a game or read a book or anything with him - because something goes wrong and bad feeling is felt. It's due to him not having proper social skills/understanding (with my ds) but currently we aren't getting any help.......am getting there with it though. Well I just wanted you to know you aren't alone feeling like this. <'>

<'> <'> I think we all feel like we are to blame at some point. We're awaiting diagnosis and it'd be easier if it's just something we've done wouldn't it - because it would be easier to fix. <'> <'>

Being nosey - but if hugs are needed then I'm sure here to give you some <'> <'> <'> <'> <'> <'>

oh how useful - they know that all IQ scores show are the ability to do IQ tests - so is their point that they managed to learn how to do them? Will read the rest - thanks.
