help struggling

lanky

james seems to be getting worse at the moment, wont let us cuddle him, he just leans in to us so we have to put our arms round him, he wont let us give him a kiss keeps saying kisses tickle, even if you touch his arm says ouch tickles, last few nights he gets distressed in bed because he feet and legs tickle and bed tickles, tickles we think means feels uncomfortable I think, he can only wear certain footwear only light footwear, this morning he stood and lined all his red cars up, its starting to get upsetting that I cant even have a proper cuddle off my son, we not due back to peads june/july this year, but that's gonna be stressful because james has changed soo much since January and not in a good way frown emoticon, been having load of meltdowns lately which haven't been like that in a long time

currently being assessed for autism he is 3 years old

  • Hi again - there are lots of posts on here about autistic children having a difficult time at school, so you need to check out what his primary school are going to do to help support him.  Have that conversation as soon as poss as schools vary enormously.  Will he have a teaching assistant who has been well trained in autism, for example?  A quiet area?  How will he be at playtime - will he need support then?  Check out the home pg for info.  Has he got a statement or what's called an Education + Health plan now (worded something like that).  It's important that you get 1 before he starts school.  Also, how prepared is he for going to "big school."?

    Going back to nursery for a min.  Something may have set off his sensory issue about skin so it could be quite tough for him if other children are touching him etc, or even staff?  

    Good luck with everything.  Sometimes it's not easy for our children or us, but we have to fight their corner for them. Smile
