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 again - my son (now an adult) is at the classic end.  He was in the "middle" class at school.  He's much younger emotionally than his yrs.  He talks, but on his own terms.  He still keeps parts of his life in compartments.  He can be flexible in a number of ways, but intransigent in others.  He is quite practical and sometimes finds ways to solve problems he may have, altho again, it's the way a younger person wd go about it.  He's also asked questions about:  birth, death, what will happen after he left school etc.  So his development is varied.  In the right environment he is generally content and/or happy.  He has a childish sense of humour which makes people smile.  He's numerate, cd write single words before he started talking (a short phrase) at 5 yrs old.  He cd understand simple phrases before then.  The advice to start the statementing process is in my opinion gd advice.  You shd then be in a better position if you decide your son needs a school for children with autism.   Your LEA shd be the point of contact.  Gd luck.
