Winter

ginger_gnome

I'm not sure if this is in the right section ... not sure where to post, sorry.

My son is 6 and currently undiagnosed but is likely to get a diagnosis of Aspergers soon.  My query is this:

He's really struggling at the moment, one day this week he was sent home from school with ear-ache.  I knew he wasn't really "ill" but equally I knew that the pain he was in was real to him (I got him checked out by the doc in case).  He was anxious because there were changes in the school routine but with some encouragement he was able to go back next day.

My lad's behaviour has been really erratic lately, a lot of anger, ticks, shouting and aggression towards his siblings and my husband & I.

Looking back in my diary I can see that this time last year he was having a really hard time as well and I wondered if it's possibly winter that affects him?  My lad loves being outdoors and active.  We do lots together like baking, games etc which helps but I can see him getting upset with himself for how he's acting and I just want to help him.

Has anyone any experience of this?  I really could do with advice.

Thanks.

  • Thanks KaloJaro, that was really helpful.  My boy goes to gymnastics and swimming which he really loves but, unfortunately, both are held on the same day.  Sadly, this past week he missed both as that was the day he was unwell.  At the weekends we try to spend some time outdoors running about but it's not so easy during the week.

    I was interested in your dislike of the sun ... reading what you wrote sounded just like my Dad who is always less cheery in summer!  I think he's affected the seasons as well.

    Thanks again for your comments, I did appreciate it.  Off out now for a lovely long walk with my boy ... one-to-one time is something he & I both love :-)
