Happy birthday

And is this the best school do you feel?

I've done that and one time they "excluded him" for a few days too. He was only 5 and they still wouldn't acknowledge his asd!

Are you getting any help anywhere else for him that will support you?

Well if you can confidently drive an automatic then it will be better than not driving at all wont it Good luck with it.

Yeh sorry I do tend to agree and never actually heard it as being called asperger syndrome didn't like to say though.

haha you may enjoy talking to my dad he's a colour expert. My son likes red and blue best but I voted blue.

Used to love it but my poor boy can't cope with all the changes in routine etc etc

I also agree the idea of the punishments is to make the kids realise - no point if it's not going to have any effect is it, and to be punished for something they cannot help imo is really not on. How much luck you'd get talking to the school is probably (unfortunately) a whole other issue.

Is this the Mcdonalds worker one?

I hate how they "observe" for 10 minutes and say all is fine. Woman who "observed" my son was going to go away and say all was fine but luckily I also got the opportunity to talk to her and he's now in the process of a long medical assessment which is looking like he is going to get an ASD diagnosis at the end. Don't let them ever convince you it's you <'>

My son copies whole conversations to try and fit in.

The school where my son goes (and I'm a parent governor) is mainstream with strong links to a special school. I guess it depends whereabouts in gloucestershire you want to go. My son is in year 5 currently and am learning all about secondary schools but only really know about the one he goes to...that and that all the schools local to me that are any good are all full presently.

My son is 9 and he's not even got a dx but knows - and have given him books to read on it.

I do

Hi there doing the school run so no time to read all the replies. Sounds pretty much like what was happening here, they then gave my son social skills training and structured playtimes, with toys, chess clubs etc. I think he gets "reflections" if he's aggressive and "blue slips" if he's good. Hope things settle.

Brilliant news Helen.

congratulations x

We had this with yellow and he would attack anyone else trying to use the yellow.

<'> Helen I am so sorry <'>

mine can't stop playing with it in the bath so am assuming it gets cleaned then.

I think that they don't just look at test results anyway but view the whole picture.

Hi welcome to the forum. My brother was starved of oxygen at birth...but my son wasn't.

I think if you can say why there is a need then because it is due to medical reasons to then they probably do have to. My council have said that as soon as my son has a dx then they will put him down for needing his own room. Good luck.

That's fantastic. Well done.
