He'll be 10 soon- and his 'clingyness' is getting worse- he is keen to go - but is starting to take more and more stuff with him... and he either phones to come home at bedtime- or is on my doorstep at 7am the next day.
he does have SPECIAL NEEDS... so what i'm looking for on here is really a general idea of whether this difficulty is related to his autism, or whether it is common for a 9/10yr old to be this way.
thanks all.
