Subject upsetting my son

Moose

My son is seven, he has just moved into year 3, his teacher has said she thinks he is on the spectrum, 

He is learning about the plague,this is upsetting my son a lot, he has started wetting the bed, he has been sick twice inclass, I think it's anxiety about the subject, his has got even more clingy then normal.

I am worried as I don't know how long the subject is to be taught, the teacher knows about his Autism, but I am worried that it will affect his time at school, as he use to enjoy school, but now I don't know. It's worrying me as I hated school myself, I don't want him to hate his school day's.

    Talk to his teacher and ask them what they think is happening. Teachers don't like kids being sick in class so they may want to avoid any recurrence! They must be able to excuse him from this topic.

    You also need to talk to your son about what is worrying him. He will need reassurance that it doesn't happen nowadays. Does he have a clear idea about how long ago the plague happened? At that age he may have got the idea that it was within living memory.
