My son who's 7 is very sensitive to pain, a simple knock on his arm with the door or tripping can cause a complete meltdown, he will say every day is painful and he doesn't understand why he is here and wants to end his life... Hes really struggling with school he said he doesn't see the point in going because he doesn't have any friends anyway. It's extremely difficult to hear as a parent.
He can be very difficult to play with as he wants it all his way and will not compromise on even the smallest details slot of times such as the colour somone chose ect.. He will often shut down completely if anyone doesn't want to play or wants to play a different way. This has lead to kids lieing in order for him not to join in.
The school have expressed their issues with it aswell I'm hoping to talk to them today about it and see what can be done if anything. Is it extreme to think about home schooling? I don't want him to miss out and part of me thinks it would create bigger problems for him because he does have to learn how to cope with other peoples opinions and choices. But I've also no doubt in my mind he would try hurt himself especially as he gets older and feels these emotions of rejection and confusion even more.
