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?

  • So I’ve noticed my now 8 year old son wasn’t the same as my older children. I have 5. 
    move been trying to get schools involved since year r. Was told he was just naughty. We’ll roll on year 4. They’ve finally sent a cahms report and he’s been accepted. I thought it was just adhd. But reading into it. It’s likely Aspergers too. He is good at making friends. He just can’t keep them as he’s too ott. Doesn’t get invited to any parties or have any friends that come out to play with him. 
    I would advise you to self refer to cahms. It’s a good 2 year wait and I’m sure something will pop up at school. But def talk to them especially his teachers.
