Right my little boy is 3 will be 4 in july. I was very pleased today when I fetched him from nursery as he had got star of the week . When we were leaving the head of nursery said to me that he has had a excellent week but is very hyper. This had been mentioned to me previously when he started school in september they had a review about a month after and his teacher said that he suffers a bit socially and is very hyper and they are monitoring it. I said to the head today yes he is very hyper and she said that they have been using different styles with him this week and have had good results. She said he likes lots of praise. I said to her I am worried in case there is something more serious wrong with him and she replied if there is they will guide and help us. That to me makes me think that they think he may have a problem. It is very hard when you are speaking to the teacher and she is trying to watch the other children and talk to me at the same time. I admit he has challenging behaviour he seems to flip out sometimes in certain situations that he isnt usually in for example my dd had her 12 month review at the hv on monday my little boy got in the room and fliiped out he was jumping on the chairs, running around, he ran off on hv had to chase him he was being really hyper. I thought I would put a few thigs down what he is like and caould anyone advise if it rings alarm bells please. Can you be different degress of adhd and aspergers?
He:
Was slow at talking but can hold a conversations with you. He does make a certain amount of eye contact.
He sleeps through the night. He is potty trained
He eats a variety of foods but can be very picky. Dosent have loads of sweets.
He likes loads of praise.
He can concentrate for a limited period he would sit and watch a cartoon the whole way through though.
He is very hyperactive and very independant he likes to do things for himself.
He is rough with his friends at times and can push children out of his way however school have never mentioned that he has hit/ bitten anyone.
He likes routine he isnt overally upset if his routine is changed for example if we go on holiday ect .
He does like to complete things and can be obsessed with doing things a certain way like lining his cars up or walking round the class a certain way.
He goes very hyper at childrens parties to the point where I decline going sometimes in the fear he will start going loopy.
He dosent seem to play alot with friends he is a outgoing child not shy but dosent seem to know how to play properly yet. He does copy what alot of children do for example when we were at the park the other day a little girl fell over and he ran to where she fell and did exactly what she did.
His granny has him on a thursday when I work and he can be as good as gold for her.
I just feel like my head is spinning do I just have a active child who needs to have more discipline or may there be a problem. Either way I love him with all my heart he is my boy and nothing is going to change him but maybe he just needs a little help.
Thanks everyone for reading my mammoth post.
