Hi ladies im posting on behalf of my best friend. She has a 6 year old son, he's a lovely boy and has always been a bit of a worrier. As a baby he was very calm and laid back, he would lay in his toddler bed awake and wait for his mum to get him out. He used to line up his toy cars. He hated change, He has gone back to school now but cries everyday and gets himself very worked up. He is aggressive to his siblings, especially if he doesn't get his own way. He swears at his mum and is rude, as he seems to panic as he goes to school. his headteacher has said its ok for him to come in for a few hours at a time. He is not sleeping well in his bed even though for the last 6 years he has been fine. And in siblings beds he sleeps all night. The headteacher has told her they believe he is autistic. My friend is understandably worried about her son. His eye contact is fine as is his speech, i look after him once a week and he is a lovely little boy, we look through books and talk about what were looking at. And do puzzles etc he has no tantrums and is polite but as soon as his mum or dad walks in he's naughty . i have no experience of autism at all, so i hope i am not offending anyone. My friend has asked me to ask on here for parents of an autistic child for their opinion. Her doctor has said she believes he is fine but my friend is so worried and i think worried that she is reading into things as she is reading things online alot. So sorry this is so long.
