My son just started reception. His old pre-school teacher babysits for us. When she was here last week she asked after a little girl who she'd also taught who is now in reception with my son. Then she told me that she and the other teachers at the preschool were convinced that this little girl had SEN and they thought she probably had some form of autistic spectrum disorder (sorry if the terminology is all wrong - can't remember her exact phrasing).
They apparently did not go as far as to tell this to her parents 
.
Now, I would normally just try and forget her indiscretion in telling me this except that I know from the little girl's mum that she is really struggling in reception. Getting in trouble lots, tantrums etc...
My immediate reaction is to keep out of it and ignore what I was told. But on the other hand would it help her to pass on the pre-school teacher's suspicions - if she needs extra help it would probably be better to get it in place sooner rather than later?
I know her mother a little but not well enough to talk to her about it (and her younger daughter is at the pre-school so would also then be dropping the indiscrete teacher in it) but I could mention it quietly to the reception teacher?
Urghh...
