Hi all I just had to pop in to write as i am still buzzing from a great meet the teacher night at school.
Hamish is in his second year of school this year and last year wasn't our best. I had spoke to his teacher about the possibility of Aspergers and was blow off, then all the things i pointed out to her he was punished for, arghhhhhhhhhhh very frustrating year.

Anyhow I went in and told his teacher earlier in the week that Hamish was going in to start his assessments for Aspergers, she was very understanding and great. Tonight she told me Hamish had a melt down in class over his pencils today. In his last class they had a pot of their own, this year he is meant to share with the girl sitting next to him. Well apparently he just couldn't deal with it, it was out of his control and he didn't like it, he didn't like her sharpening the pencils when he felt they didn't need it etc... anyhow the teacher assured me it wasn't a sharing issue as he shares other things, this was him not being able to hand control over to someone else, anyhow he now has his own pot of pencils again.
She also told me about how he takes everything literally , she said to write your name in big writing so he wrote in capitals really big
We had a great chat and he has shed a few tears as he is trying to settle into a new routine and a different class and students. The big bonus is his teachers mother is currently studying a masters degree in education for children with autism/aspergers and I know her yeah it looks like Hamish has a teacher who finally gets us.

sorry i feel so excited for my little man
