Yesterday was just horrible in our house, son had been quite confused on Thursday in school ( he'd only been back wed & thurs after being to stressed to go after exams ). i had already decided to keep him home on Friday, kicking my self I'd sent him the other 2 days,he was quite confused when he woke up and I told him he was staying home, I went to make a cup of tea and phone his cahms worker, to tell her he was pretty bad, when I came back In The room , no more than 5 mins. He was completely mute, couldn't remember who I was, what his name was, and just moved his head slightly to acknowlage what I was saying, it took 5 hrs for him to start to come back to us, and another couple hrs before he could recognise all his pictures of family and friends. Has this happened to any one else. It happened before when he was 11, he's now 15. It's been a very heavy few weeks with exams (we are trying to get him out of) and all the cahms intervention/ meetings I  don't know what to do for the best now, do I keep him at home for a while, let him chill, although the stress of a change of environment will keep stress up a bit. Do I send hiM Half days, keep him off til school sort them selves out and realise they have a kid that really can't cope on their hands.cahms say, once he's feeling better, get him straight back In to school or he'll stress about being off. I just want to wrap him In bubble wrap and keep them all away from him!!.

  • Thank you Paul and Daisygirl, we are new to this-even though my son is 15, up until now 2 schools and 3 lots of peds have told us he's nervous hesunderconfidbandana basically to stop being so neurotic!!. Over the last few weeks we have had to start thinking with him being on the spectrum and trying to alter ways we handle situations, i feel we have done ok with our son up til now Nd just bumbled along, but feel like we are going into this totally blind, and welcome suggestions and opinions that are focused on helping our son, I think he needs a rest, but is that for my benefit or his,is my need to protect him fueling the fire. I see where your coming from and routine is the best. I just don't know what to do, im going to have to keep him home tomorrow, he is shattered and a doesn't seem to bothered about that,school are worried about exams because of school league tables, I had a call from a teacher last Tuesday demanding he went to a meeting about upping his grades, I said no and she went off at me and said he doesn't have a formal diagnosis yet, its irrelevant.ive been warned the head will come at me to, I'm ready for him!!. They all keep talking  ' short term' as exams, well they aren't short term they Re going on for the next 6 months, short term is the next couple of days in our house, and he is in this state after one week. We have cancelled the exams in January, and am expecting a fight to cancel the others but I will win, he can still get grades Fromm course work, that he loves. He likes school, and loves his teachers, the only one he can't get on with is maths, the teacher has no regard for My son, I want that changed, other children go to a different room for maths to they can hopefully help my boy to. I really appreciate your honest answers, they help me understand my bs on better, 

    have a great day xx
