He is being assessed at school due to his behaviour, someone from the County Council visits him fortnightly. He has been being assessed since the beginning of yr 2
School are now saying we should be thinking about referring him to the GP to see if medication will help.
He is 8 in April and I am sat here getting myself all chewed up because I feel like I am letting him down and I have no one to talk to about it in RL.
I find the communication with the school is very limited and it can be weeks before they say they really need to meet with us. I am not a pushy parent and don't like to pester them even though I know I should. I don't understand half of what they are saying as they spend most of the meeting going on about what they are planning to put in place or what they are already doing with him to help. It always comes across that they are doing positive things with him and that it is all going well until I get a random call about how he has behaved badly in school and that we really need to meet up. We meet up and the meeting will start how he lacks the abity to concentrate, his social skills are poor, then they turn it round saying we have done this, done that, Mrs ** is doing this and he is responding well to this we will keep you informed of the next step then I hear nothing until, again he does something wrong in class or the play yard.
ADHD was mentioned in the beginning then it was Autism/Aspergers.
He is extremely intelligent and in all the top sets. It is his concentration and inability to sit still, work independantly and be quiet that is the problem. He cannot sit still, he talks constantly and I mean constantly. He takea things very personally and can also be very matter of fact regardless of whether it upsets the person he says it to.
I just don't know what to do.
Any one with experience of this?
