kirstie Report post Posted March 5, 2006 Just an example here, My AS son leaves his classroom on a regular basis to go to the toilet or just for a wander then sits down somewhere thinking that everyone knows where hes going and where to find him He cannot understand what all the fuss is about. The school are putting strategies in place so he doesn't just go off without asking for permission on his own! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justamom Report post Posted March 5, 2006 K does the same thing at school and he also at home will leave the house to play out without letting us know where he is going or that he has left the house. I never though of it in that respect, like he thinks we know where he is going it all makes so much sense now. thanks for the example... justamom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
