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

  • Crystal, thanks for the advice and info i think i will try to push to start statementing my son so as you say if i need to move him, the statements there already.

    Katie,  thanks or your reply, school sounded bloody awful for you! And this is what i eorry about for my son just that the gap between him and peers becomes so big that hes a target.

    Sounds like he views school and home maybe as you did, two different worlds that you simply cannot mix.

    He also like you did has imaginary friends based on star wars characters. 

    He also tells me he plays games with the clouds! 

    He uses soft toys and calls them friends at home. Line them up talks to them sometimes thy have dinner he has loads he really loves them, i think it maybe because he doesn't have any real friends. He makes up parties at home and invites them all etc. 

    I just really wanna insure he doesn't get picked on or bullied at all.  If anything like that happened id want to whip him out of main stream imm. Sometimes i think im being ott as this hasen't happened yet and he seems happy and he only in year 1, but i get so worried as kn he on own etc.  

    Thanks stacey xx
