Hello
Our 9 year old son was diagnosed with high functioning autism (possibly with anxiety) 2 weeks ago. We are waiting for a home visit from paws and for our sessions in april and have been scouring for information. It's mind boggling.
Our current immediate problem is that he is hating primary school. All we can get out of him is that is 'boring'! We have tears and upset every morning and he goes into school looking so sad, is distant and doesn't engage in the lessons for alot of the day.
We've tried offering rewards etc, keep charts and giving him encouragement in the mornings but I think it's getting worse.
Would anyone else have experienced similar and found something that helps?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Kind regards
