My ds is 6. At 2/3 he was diagnosed with global development delay of 12-18months. We changed nursery and he came on leaps and bounds.
Fast forward to now. He's such hard work. He literally is never happy. Cries a lot, doesn't seem to understand sharing, gets overly upset if say my dd looks like she has more coco pops.
He asks questions that aren't even relevant, and his teacher told me this at his parents evening. He talks over children when sat on the floor about something that they aren't even talking about. We are trying to teach him to think about what he wants to say and ask himself is it important.
He very impatient. The teacher went to turn the tv on at school and within a second he piped up he couldn't see. He's always impatient, and can't wait his turn.
Lately when he's telling us or anyone something he won't look at them, looks up to the ceiling a lot.
He doesn't smile really, very rarely. He just seems so grumpy. Even if we try and have a laugh with him.
He hates it when he thinks someone is "laughing at them" or "staring at him".
He also hates loud bangs, balloons popping at a recent birthday party was a nightmare.
He also has obsessive routine. He wakes up at 5am on the dot even still half asleep to ask for his iPad. I don't give it him, but he goes back to bed and cries for an hour. Every single day, without fail.
He's not very sociable. He has mates and he always calls them if he sees them, but his best friend has been round twice this week and iv had to tell him off with how he speaks to him, he doesn't seem to understand!
