My DS started school in September and seems happy but school aren't. Apparently he:

  1. hid under the table a couple of times
  2. Concentrates so hard on what he is doing that he often doesn't hear or respond when he Is called by name
  3. Won't wipe his own bottom (he tells me he did today as we have been having words!)
  4. His writing "could be better"
  5. can have over the top emotional outbursts (crying, off the deepend)
  6. Has flapped his hands once or twice
  7. Disappears to the loo and is gone ages, they retrieve him in the end, find him playing with the water.

At home he is extremely loving (unusually so I would say but It's nice!), wipes his bottom, never handclaps, playful, funny, imaginative. He does have crying fits, off the deep end, pulls some funny faces when eating and he has a button phobia (he will tolerate some on trousers if they are covered by his tshirt and ok with them on his blazer, coat etc) he says they look rubbish.

Intellectually wise he seems to be doing fine, learning to read etc no problem.
