Hello everyone,
I have a situation which I think could start to become a problem. My 7 year old is just starting to show is anger to other people apart form his dad and I and we have no idea how to deal with it. Since he started back to school in sept he has starting having issues with afterschool club, going withdrawn when there, not sharing with anyone and fighting with other children when he dosen't get his own way. Today in the middle of the night he was sick and the first thing he said to me this morning is "now i have been sick, i cant go to school" I'm worried he is making up illness to get out of going to school. We have asked him is there is something wrong at school especially afterschool club but he clams up. Then gets frustrated and starts lashing out. Can making up illness normal for a child with ASD?
I have spoken to school and they say his behavior is fine while is class and I they have no idea what it is thats bothering him. What do we do? We have tried talking to him and he just will not entertain talking. He just shuts off
I am getting worried - last night he said he was lonely and he wanted someone to play with but everytime he has someone to play, he wont share and all hell breaks out. He is an only child and proberly going to stay that way because I am getting too old to have anymore children and to be honest can only just cope with him with the way he is. Rencently I heard of an autistic child having a pet dog as a companion is that correct does it work and how do I go about finding out about it?
Any help would be appreciated
worried mum
