I would like to introduce myself. I am mother to an 8 year old boy whom we have just been told by the clinical psychologist has aspergers. It has taken 18 months to get this diagnosis as they first just said he was an anxious child, it's only that they were going to do some work with him that they have changed their minds. We asked for him to be refered as we have suspected he was autistic for a long time. He has lots of sensory issues. He won't eat most thing, doesn't like smells, won't wear certain clothes and needs cuddling all the time. he is very dependent on me and worries when he doesn't know what I'm doing or where I am.

I wonder if anyone could point me in the direction of some information to give to school about his eating issues as they keep making him eat things which causes great distress at the time and when he gets home full meltdown and a very bad nights sleep. I have been in to talk to them but would like to give them some leaflets.

Any advise please.

  • Hi,

    Thank youfor your replies. my son also is on the gifted and talented as his maths is way beyond his years.

    School have not be very supportive in all this process at all. they will not allow packed lunches as they say it's part of the social life at school to all sit together and eat a meal. So I'm collecting as much iformation about sensory isues as possible to give them. they have been a lot better since I told them about the diagnosis.

    We are going for an appointment tomorrow with the clinical psychologist to look at other areas like anxiety. Smile
