DS3 is 4.5 and has recently begun to hide his 2 brothers 'special interest' toys etc- am pretty sure this is somewhat an 'attention seeking' behaviour but due to feeling i have lost the plot at the moment....wondered if anyone else can see this in a different light--he's also showing vague aspie type behaviours too- so far since starting school he's only brought home non-fiction books,insisted on 4 things every day in lunchbox,insisted that when the teacher says 'you can take xxxxx home' that she means to keep,got 'hooked' on using computer as 'settling activity' as soon as got to class- then without warning all the 'settling activities' were stopped and had to come in and sit down straight away to do a tracing or writing activity- he found this distressing and 2 weeks on is still saying that should be on computer- i have expl the fact that 'variety is the spice of life' but he is perssistant...wondered if this is a bit of 'transition' probs

Thought this was going to be another thread by dadslib for a minute.

ROFL tinker

Mrsforgetful, does he have a previous history of Aspergers-type behaviour? I just wondered, because a lot of what you are describing in your son sounds very like mine, who has also just started school, is also young in his year, and who is not Aspergers. He's driving me nuts too if it is any consolation...I think around this age little boys especially have a surge of disruptive, attention-seeking behaviour. Our ds, previously a very well-behaved and "easy" child, is wildly energetic, cheeky and silly after school and before bedtime and I think the change in his usual behaviour has upset even him. So we are getting hissy fits over changes to biscuit/fruit selection in lunchbox, insistence on the same books every night at bedtime (Asterix in our case) etc etc.
I think you are right to say it is transition. We are trying VERY hard to ignore stuff that is merely annoying and concentrate on making sure our no-hitting, respect-for-others rules in the house are still adhered to. It's not easy though, is it?
I'd talk to his teacher or classroom assistant about the change to his settling-in activity if you have not already done so. Maybe they are not aware withdrawing the computer access then has upset him so much.

Thankyou or such a lovely reassuring response! It is so hard for me to sometimes see things any differently!I think it's because my irst 2 have some degree o aspergers that i actually have NO idea how a 'normal' child should or would behave!!!I will talk to the teacher-she used to run a special needs unit at another school - so i am lucky that she will understand where i am coming rom!Tanks again Marina.
