Hi there. Wonder if anyone has any advice. My son has recently had his diagnosis. He is 11. He doesn’t open up to me a lot about anything, knows he was being assessed for autism but doesn’t want to know what was said.
he recently came to me upset saying he was worried about school because they were going to be starting a new book about the war and he was worried it was going to be violent. He then revealed that the reason he had been sent home from school after being sick on himself a month or so ago was because there was a scene in the book where someone was stabbed and it talked about the blood. He didn’t mention this at the time. He said when they were reading it be started to sweat and feel sick and didn’t make it to the toilet on time. He told us none of this at the time which is concerning, but we are working on building trust and communication around this kind of thing.
i am wondering if anyone had any insight into what’s happened, what this reaction was, and any suggestions on how I can support him. He doesn’t want to be embarrassed by any special treatment at school, but it’s clearly a big worry for him. I am new to all this.
