DS just 8 (yr3) has ASD/ADHD...
The gap is getting wider and I believe that the peer group who have always tolerated him are now choosing just the exclude him. He's a fun loving bubbly boy but his two conditions are sometimes at odds with each other, in that he wants everything his way, but wants to join in too, which often leads to lots of frustration and verbal outbursts when games aren't going his way. This became very apparent on our break away at Easter and for the first time I experienced other children calling him names (weirdo)! His brother and cousin tried managed the situation but this still resulted in me having to intervene.
We do lots of role play at home and will admit to probably helicoptering when out and about to avoid situations but feel he's getting to the age where I need to back of a little.
So what types of things could they be doing with him at school to help him with this, given that he "doesn't want to be treated like a baby", at the moment he is very much left to his own devices at play times and I fear this will lead to social exclusion.
