Hi Abbi,
He is ok, but flaring up when tired. Little brother (nearly 4) seems to trigger it, issues with sharing especially!
Our Psych met with us and our son again 2 weeks ago and told him that he has Aspergers. He didn't really pay much attention as was quite engrossed in the bricks in the room, but it has allowed us to use the term when we are explaining to him why he finds certain things difficult/ sees them in a different way. I don't really feel we are managing things very well with him as it is quite exhausting and there can be so many occasions each day when we have to keep calm and try to help him. School, thankfully is fine- no issues really and he is so well supported in a small class. He just seems to let rip at home, which is quite common I think...
Glad to be in touch with others in same boat....
