First post after a name change. Posted on this board a couple of times before my DS was diagnosed with Aspergers. DX given in April and since then things have got worse, not better.
We've been back at school a few weeks (Scotland) and it's just been awful. I'm getting more tantrums in a 24 hour period than I had all school holidays. DS has huge sensory issues and is not coping in a class of 33.
I picked him up yesterday and while waiting in the playground I overheard a grandparent talk about a boy in the class that was putting her grand daughter off her work and she said if it was her that was the problem "she would be down on her like a ton of bricks". I just knew she was talking about DS. Sure enough, I got chatting to DS on the way home and he immediately offered up this girls name as someone who is complaining about him to the teacher.
What do I do? I knew this was going to come, but I've been crying on and off since 3 pm yesterday. DH says we should turn this into a positive and use it to help us (we are trying to get him moved to a school with an autism Unit but it won't happen quickly (if at all)) but I'm so upset at people thinking DS is "just a naughty boy".
I feel better just for getting it off my chest.
