Masking in school

Hi. I am just starting the ball going with looking at diagnosis for aspergers/autism for my 6 year old, and possibly also my 9 year old.... so so so many asperger type signs at home and out and about e.g parties but do not show any at school that make it obvious.... anyone else have same issue and any advice please?

  • Not really, I'm afraid. It's a tough road when they are showing things in school. You can speak to your Sendco and ask for an appointment with an educational psychologist who will be able to give another opinion, but if the child is masking and apparently coping it will be difficult because services are already overstretched.
