This afternoon I've had to sit in the headmasters office with DS, to discuss his behaviour- yet again.
I've taken him for a hearing check- all clear. GP suggested he shows signs of ASD and referred us on.
School have said he shows no signs, but complain about his loud noises, lack of emotion, and his general disruptiveness.
He has for a long time now been making random shouting noises, as well as odd bits and bobs from adverts and films "the person you need in Nanny McFee" is his current one!
He's very 'grabby' and pushy. he can't seem to keep his hands to himself- not hurting others as such, but annoying them by touching.
The headmaster was saying that they are very concerned he doesn't show any reaction to people being cross with him, or to being punished. He laughs when he's shouted at.
I don't know what to do!
The school seem to think they will train him out of it, but admit themselves that they can't seem to find anything that works when he's having one of his very bad days.
He's 6 (just)
I don't want to make excuses for him...Sometime of his behaviour is him just being a pita.
But sometimes I genuinely don't think he can help it.
I don't know who to talk to or what to do next.
We saw a paediatrician (sp) around nov last year, and he was going to see us again 6 months from then, unless I felt he needed to be seen again sooner.
Should I contact him again?
I'm so tearful and tired.
Sorry for the long and rambly post.
Really appreciate any advice!
