Playground year 1

stacey1471

Hi,

Still fairly new here. My son age 5 was diagnosed with ASD, high functioning in may.

The current situation i am worried about is:

He wonders around the playground on his own in school talking to him self, sometimes spinning, following playground lines on floor, or running around getting 'breeze'. His fav thing to do! 

He mixes in class but coz he is prompted etc part of his ILP but in playground he wants to be on his own and tells me he is happy like that.

Really i dont kn if im silly to worry as of the above, but i really worry that the kids in his class etc will start to see him as a target as they all grow and mature.

Ive concidered our local 'autistic school if he starts to have problems, but just wanted advise for the current situation, ive said to him maybe if he wants to come home for lunch but he doesn't want to. 

He doesn't talk about school willingley i have to really push for info if im worried, 

He just says 

'yes i got breeze'

'yes i had fun'

And then gets really angry if i try to contintue to talk about it he just says he doesnt want to talk about school. 

Thanks stacey xx

  • hi - can understand your concerns.  What's not a big issue at present cd become a bigger one as he gets older and other kids get more savvy, for wont of a less polite expression.  From what you say I don't see any harm in checking the autistic school out to see if it wd be suitable.  Is it a local authority school?  I ask because if it's not it cd cost more + you cd run into problems with your LEA then.   Don't think you or his present school will be able to change his playground routine - as you say, he enjoys it + it probably gives him that big of time to settle his mind after his lessons.  My son always went to autistic schools.  He wouldn't have survived in mainstream, esp as he got older.  They did a good job + he enjoyed it.
