novaliegh

can some one please point me in the right direction. my 9 yr old son is struggling with every day life i have been taking him to a child peaditrition since he was 2. they just keep saying he has language problems and has autistic tendancys but doesnt warrant eneough to have an ados assesment all because he doesnt have behavioral problems at school. although he is in a special group for reading and english has he is in yr 4 but only just finishing level 1. he suffers out bursts and struggles so much at home. can he have a form of autism even if he doesnt struggle in school with his behavior?

  • Hi Everyone,

    First time on here. My 11 year old son started secondary school in September. He was diagnosed with tourettes and Autism in May 2011. Since going back to his main stream secondary school we have had massive tantrums. He has been late for school for the last two weeks as it takes us about two hours to motivate him to go. At school they allow him to be in a classroom away from others if he wants. He has not got a statement yet but I am going to apply for one. He finds it really hard to concentrate and holds his ticks in if he can. The school has now told us he is having a detention tomorrow for being late and my son lost the plot at home and hit out for about an hour. He is refusing to go back to school now and said he will run away if they make him do the detention. Our social worker is going to try and talk to them tomorrow. They also decided to let me know in front of my son and others that I maybe fined if it continues and end up in court. This just added extra stress to the whole situation. My son refused to go to any of his lessons today until they offer him a helper. To date he attends three lessons a day and enjoys the ones where he has support. As most of the behavioural problems are coming out at home I am worried that the school will disagree he dosen't need a statement but I know he isn't coping with school. To finish off as I have gone on a bit the attendence officer tried to get my child to admit to why he doesn't like school as he said he doesn't know she said you do know. This just aggravated my son even more. I would appreciate any advice on this. Thanks for listening.
