Ds (3.5) is currently being looked at for ASD. But at his last assessment they felt he was progressing so quickly that it might not be ASD but a language delay.
He has now settled into nursery really well, after about 6 months of aggressive behaviour, and will sit nicely with the other children in close proximity for snack time and story time.
What we still really have problems with is shouting at staff when he arrives . They only have to say good morning in a nice friendly voice and he shouts at them. He also will not sit with the others for register. But after this time (about 15 minutes into the day) he settles and plays well.
One theory I have is that the lead worker often chats to the children at register time and that he finds that threatening in terms of processing the language. But to be honest I'm at a bit of a loss to explain it. He can be in a very good mood before we go in and then just turn.
Does anyone have any ideas about what he may be thinking or ways to get him to sit nicely for register?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
