Hi JacquiL,thank you for the link,I am in the process of changing my son's schools as his current school refuse to get him assessed,I truly believe he has many aspie traits also,it is a battle,school well the Head has been ignorant giving a message to my son's lovely teacher that I handed in wrong transfer forms (which after phoning our LEA who assured me I haven't)his teacher broke down and cried with me when I told her he was being moved all she kept saying was sorry!!!!His new school if he gets in is 8 miles from home but I used to work there and they are such a nurturing school and have a fab SEN dept!He brought his yr 3 work home today and I just sobbed (not in front of him),I was hugging him the other day and told him I loved him and he said "I want to be a head moth catcher when I am older",I feel it is going to be a long road ahead!!!Thanks again for your advice,becky j x
Becky, perservere. Getting your child assessed for anything is a battle, I was lucky with my son simply because I worked for the HA at one time, but the LEA was another story.
Remember you know your son best, good luck
Thank you,I certainly won't give up!!!!My hubby just switches off to it all,his way of coping but not helping I guess!My mum used to think my son was being rude which hurt me why can't people take children for who they are?!x
Sorry no experience so can't help other than to say well done for getting this far and like Jacq says persevere and you will get the help he needs.

A lot of men switch off, it's their way of coping with a not so 'perfect' child
OHs best friend has done that re his son who is 23 and a virtual recluse :-(

You need to seek professional help. I remember my mom going to the hopsital so that my sister will be assessed, she was diagnosed with dyslexia with mild adhd. The doctors will explain everything and the possible activities that you might enroll your with to. There are programs such as family therapy, counseling, camps, therapeutic school and etc. I tell you, the condition will take alot of understanding and love from you.
Good luck!
A head moth catcher??! LOL, bless him!
I think sometimes a change of school can be the best thing you can do. My DD went to a school which couldn't deal with her problems, and things went from bad to worse in a very short space of time. She is now in a different school, and she couldn't be happier. We still have some issues, she hasn't turned into the perfect child by any means, but the staff at this school really 'get' her and manage her problems in a constructive and helpful way, and as a result she is thriving.
When are you expecting to hear about the new school?
