I’ve been told by the nursery teacher that she has concerns about my 4 year old son. We spoke about them briefly a few weeks ago and I asked outright was she hinting at autism. The answer was yes but it was too soon to say apparently and she also can’t diagnose. She mentioned his inability to share, transition from 1 activity to another, twang in his accent, covering his ears a lot, wants everything his own way etc. They haven’t elaborated on this. They want him observed by sen co and then she’s going to also sit in on our ‘meeting’ with the teacher to discuss. I never had any concerns at home. He has his quirks and is an only child. Very affectionate, sociable, friendly. I just don’t know what to think. I’m not dismissing them as being wrong but I don’t see it as very obvious if there is something. He’s not even been attending 2 full months yet. Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.
