DS had a classmate round last night. They are not really close friends, but have got on OK before and I always try to encourage DS to play with everyone.
His friend is a lovely kid but a bit more mature than DS and a tendency to lead and overrule. DS wanted to play one thing; friend wanted to do another and DS had a meltdown. Obviously I told him this was unacceptable at the time and we've had a chat since.
But he did the same with me recently when I made him do his reading immediately after breakfast (instead of a bit of to and then reading, which is our normal routine ata weekend)
As far as I know, there are no autism/Asperger concerns. His teacher has mentioned ADHD before but never followed it up as his concentration has improved since the start of the year.
DS is otherwise a lovely, caring lad with lots of friends. The tantrums seem to have come from nowhere. No home life upsets or anything to add to his stress. We have been very busy lately and he does a lot of after school clubs, so I wonder if I need to cut down.
Anyone with similar experience or advice?
