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.

  • Hi Moose,

       You may find that it's trigger word or image that brings on his anxiety and sickness. I know with my own son that thoughts can often be associative and may be linked to something which to most, can appear unrelated, so you need to get to the bottom of his thinking.

    As socks says, if you talk to your son you may find whats triggering the anxiety. I would definately talk to the teacher and find out how long the subject is going to last. If it's a full term project then he's likely to be uncomfortable for some time unless the issue is addressed. If it's a simple as blocking an image thats upsetting him then, it's likely that it's doable and will make the subject a lot more managable.
