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.

  • Thank you so much Clover.  It means so much to have such an encouragement like that.

    My lad has settled down a bit in school this week but we can still see he's struggling as he's often disruptive at home and hurting his brothers.  I feel so bad for him as we can really see how much he doesn't want to do some of the things he does and then he gets upset with himself and doesn't know how to express it. 

    Thanks again, GG
