My DS 14 is currently on a waiting list for suspected ASD.
He has always struggled with school – not academically but throughout the day various things annoy/frustrate him. He keeps his frustration hidden at school and buries it inside so by 3pm he is often on a knife-edge.
It seems really bad at the moment – probably exacerbated from tiredness and the relentlessness of it.
Every day I collect him he is very angry, the sheer amount of rage inside means that I just about get him home and he unleashes it – stomping and pounding his mattress. We live in a flat and the neighbours have even got in touch about the noise of it. Fortunately it doesn’t last long but every day I dread pick up time.
I’ve spoken to him about the things that annoy him and I can't see how they can be resolved without him moving school. I am reluctant to do this at this point as he only has a year left.
Just wanted to vent really.
