Hi,
I have a child who is potentially autistic. My child sits down for short periods of time and does the work given. However, when bored gets up and won't go back to the work.
My child has no issues with lights, sounds or people do it's not sensory issues causing this. However, my child has eating issues and sensory issues with food.
