Ds is 9 he's in year 5 . He has ASD and learning difficulties. Hes roughly at year 1 level . He has an EHCP.
The thing is he gets really upset and stressed yesterday the TA asked ds what he wanted to write TA wrote it for him . And ds had to copy it . TA asked ds if he can read it . But ds said he could not . And on the way home ds was upset and telling me that he's,stupid and he can't do things everyone else can , he's the only one . Then he's saying soon he will be on year 6. Then secondary school and he won't know anything that will be even worse etc .
I tried telling him the things he's good at . I said he's a fantastic gamer . And he scores reality good on the Wii. And hes good on his bike and his hoover board. I said he's kind. Always thinks about other people he's a fantastic friend. But it doesn't work he just says them things are different he's on about the academic side of things he says he's just crap .
Is it just a matter of keep telling him all the good things about him even if he doesn't feel that way just now and hoping if I keep saying it . He will begin to feel it.
He's in mainstream school
