We’ve been asked to speak to school about DS who is 9 and very happy and settled but his school test results were really low and not what they expected, he’s always been bright.
Does anyone have advice please - I think it might be time we assess him for ASD in case this explains something I don’t understand yet about how he learns or writes his work down? I wonder if he needs extra time or just doesn’t focus.
I think he has dyspraxia as his movements are quite different and he’s very focused on certain things. He’s had bad anxiety in the past which is very ok now but I imagine can resurface unexpectedly.
He’s always been good at maths but even this test result was really low. I wonder what it is and how to help support his learning , but guess a diagnosis would be a start to check if he does have ASD ?
