Its been flagged up at pre school that he has some signs / traits of possible autism.
He’s into both numbers and letters at the moment. He can write words without help , just sounds them out himself. That’s not a problem. But my biggest concern at the moment is him wanting to count out loud constantly. And it’s not just 1-10, he keeps going, so we are on 180 this morning and he just keeps counting. If someone interrupts him or his flow, he gets very upset/frustrated and cries.
His speech and understanding is excellent and has been from an early age, so it’s not like I can’t explain things to him.
I know it’s likely he has autism at this point or some sort of ND. But how can I help him with the constant counting? It also drives me crazy. As it’s a repetitive sound and I think I’m quite sensitive to this kind of thing.
