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, I have the same concerns about my daughter, She hasn't had her diagnosis of asd yet but is believed to be high functioning too, except she has social, speech and language difficulties. She's just started reception and we're already having problems at the school!! We're currently applying for a statement which once it comes through we're moving her to a special school as soon as we can because of the same concerns you have and because the school is just not meeting her needs.

    Can I just suggest though that you apply for a statement now, even though your son doesn't have a lot of problems now, if you decide that moving schools is the way forward you will be held back for a very long time until the statement comes in, we applied in march/april and aren't getting ours until the end of November, if it comes at all. At least then it's in place and I am told that it can be ported over to different schools if you then decide to move your child.
