I am hoping there might be someone out there who has been through this scenario. DD is 5 and in reception. She is bright on some levels (taught herself to read and reads voraciously) but doesn't talk to other children and gets very stressed at school. She is also very difficult to teach as she is an ultra perfectionist and won't even try something if she thinks she won't be able to do it. She refuses to do what she is asked at home and at school and can generally be very difficult. School have been very good and she has been assessed at preschool and school for possible HFA but both times the EP has said she is very bright and is under stimulated and will play with other children when she finds it satisfying but for the moment she is happy entertaining herself.
Just by chance we found out in November that she has a mild/moderate hearing loss caused by glue ear and has been on the waiting list for grommets and adenoids (for persistent vile runny nose). My gut feeling is that all her behavioural issues are linked to the fact that she has probably had glue ear since she was tiny (as nose has been persistently vile since then) and has spent most of her life until now in a bubble. I am hoping that the grommets and the lack of snot will change everything - has this happened for anyone or am I kidding myself.
Feeling slightly desperate as just had SENCO on phone saying she has been running away from the classroom again and they have had to take her off for one to one supervision for the nth time in the last few weeks and that they don't know what to do next. Thanks
