My DS is 4.6. He doesn't have an SEN diagnosis but I do have concerns re: ASD and no-one has so far replied on my behaviour thread. So I wondered whether I could try here as maybe people's DC's will have had similar issues.
DS has always been behind socially. His speech was late and eye contact hit and miss etc. He has just started school and even though it's extremely early days, I can't see how he will make and keep friends. He isn't into Ben10 and the like really so doesn't fit in with the typical boys. He lacks confidence and is pretty shy so he gets on better with the quieter boys. The trouble is, although he lacks confidence, the little that he does say to them is bossy and aggressive and his face can show real malice . So he is fine when running around with his peers etc, but anything that requires a tiny bit of conversation or quiet focused play usually goes out of the window. I find it pretty hard not to get cross with him but am kinda realising this is not the way to go. If anyone reading can shed ANY light on how to help him/ parent him I would be so grateful. He is a bright little boy who is very into numbers/ letters and learning in general.
