New term, new teacher, new year. its making my boy ill.

Since the return to school my 7year old son is struggling. Early hours Thurs night he was in extreme pain with rectum spasms, this lasted 3.5 hrs. He could'nt go to school fri. Over the weekend we have caught two episodes of the spasms early, gave him his anti-spasm med, lots of cuddles and reassurance. 

I am dreading school for him tomo. I am feeling so helpfless Frown

    • I read that ANXIETY is caused by an outcome or possible dreaded outcome you "don't want to happen".

    Reading your post under the context of the above definition,, quote "I am dreading school for him tomo.", that is the problem then for you(you don't wish him to go to school), but regarding your son what is the outcome or possible outcome bringing him his anxiety,, the outcome of going to school generally, the new unknown teacher, the classroom environment stimulas, your stress transferred onto him, spasms or just his autism kicking in ? It could be anything ?  I think you need to identify the outcome or possible outcome problem and  try and change it at source outcome. What is the outcome force stopping him ?

    Hope this helps
