Masking in school

NAS83227

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?

  • As has been mentioned you need to amass information, evidence, and keeping a diary is a good way of doing it. You should note anxiety, reluctance to go to school, difficulties making minor decisions, literalism, shutdowns, meltdowns and any obviously autistic physical behaviours. If you can get covert smartphone recordings of stimming, toe walking and suchlike activities this would also be useful in making a case.
