Saying hello

ginger_gnome

 

Hi,

I'm new here and wanted to see “Hello” … I'm new to forums and quite nervous but looking forward to getting to know some other folks in similar situations.

I've married to a lovely man and we have three gorgeous sons. My oldest son is 7 and has a dx of autism and ADHD. My middle is 5 and, although undiagnosed does show some autistic traits and has issues with social interaction (although this may be related to a trauma he suffered just before his 3rd birthday). My youngest is nearly 3 and doesn't show any autistic traits at present.

My two oldest boys are currently in a fantastic local mainstream school where they have, so far, been well supported. My oldest can now cope with being in the class-room fulltime … I'm so proud :-)

So, that's me.

  • The only phasing in is that they will only go in the mornings for the first 4 weeks and then will go full day but that is the same for every child .. I have asked for the boys to be split in the class to allow them to make seperate friends but my asd one always attracts little boys who are thrill seekers too and he doesnt undertand frienships at all ..he is so vulnerable .. over the summer hols i have enrolled them and their older brother at the local playscheme at the sports centre ..two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon to try help him get used to the seperation there..he didnt cope very well when his twin was off for one morning .  

     

    He "coped" well at nursery .in fact they didnt pick up any signs of his asd there ..although i must admit when i secretly watched him he was showing them very clearly ,,so i hope that he copes just as well at school but only time will tell ..as he has no apparent learning disabilities at this time we are hoping that he will remain in mainstream with his twin ..Looks like we are about to go through what you have been through this year
