DS has been struggling to settle into school over the past two weeks. He always finds change difficult and has found the transition to the structure of school the hardest thing yet.
He's been at nursery and really enjoyed that though he has been very challenging at times. He is bright and has no difficulties with language or creative play. However he doesn't find it easy to work in groups, displikes loud noise and is refusing to join in at school.
The teacher is saying that he is a danger to his own safety and that of other children because he won't follow instructions.
The school called us in today to meet with the educational psychologist. They plan to apply for a personal classroom assistant to support DS. He isn't allowed to stay beyond midday until this is in place. The educational psych is now going to assess him and did mention concerns about autism.
Although we hope that extra support will be spoitive for DS, DH and I are pretty worried and upset. We thought we had a bright but challenging child and now it seems as though he's getting labelled as trouble/disordered very early on.
Does anyone have experience they can share on this?
