hi ladies i have to post today as i am fighting back tears and feel like running to school and picking Hamish up.
He had two incidents on the playground this morning, the first was just an accident another boy ran into him and he hurt his lip but we had lots of tears and cuddles. Then he went back to play and was happy again. The bell went and i walked over to his classroom and was looking for him , he wasn't there, when i turned around there was my little man with the teacher in tears.He hadn't heard the bell as he was busy playing , when he turned around the playground was empty and he was in tears, he was crying so much and had worked himself right up, it took a good 10 minutes to calm him down. The teacher asked him what was wrong and he broke down again.
He eventually told me he was scared he was lost, we thought he was upset about the fact he may get into trouble (he didnt)
One night he saw the add on telly for smoking where the little boy gets left by his Mum and since then we have had nightmares and numerous breakdowns over my leaving him..
I left him at school today after he stopped crying and we had explained he was safe but my heart is breaking
Oh Tan , that must be heartbreaking for you.
One of my class last year was quite clingy and if she was having a sad day her mum gave her one of her hankies with her perfume (mums) on it and she used to hold that in class.
DD2 was shown that smoking add at school and had nightmares cause she said the little boy reminded her of DS.
Hi
Im not sure if i belong here but Lulu suggested I pop my head in.
My DD2 who is 5.5years old is currently being moniterd/assessed for ODD/ADD & they claim she may be mildly autistic im having trouble agreeing with the last one.
I am not sure if i will be happy to have a name for her behaviour or if ill be shattered.
Hi BP, the advantage of a "label" is that it comes with funding for a teachers aide etc which really helps. Sadly its almost impossible to get that without a label.
Hey BP. It might help if you have time (har dee har) to have a look right back through the thread. I wasn't sure if I belonged here either but one thing I knew is that DS's behaviour can be so extreme and I was at my wits end.
I don't know about the label thing either - some days he leaps forward, others I'm just at a loss. He has been diagnosed with Sensory Intergration Dysfunction and i agree with that part, but an OT said some other things I felt were ridiculous.
Now DS is at school I am going ahead with a Paed specializing in Spectrum Disorders - if only to gain a better understanding of my little man.
At the very least, in here you will have sympathetic ears from those who know how hard the 'bad days' can be xoxoxo
I think I will find myself in here more & more. Maz knows alot of the things I have dealt with over the years with Evan. We don't talk like we use to but I'm sure I will get a "told you so" from Maz if she sees this post LOL.
Over the last year Evan's behaviour had gotten pretty bad. We started seeing a counsellor to help with his anxiety problems. As we got those under control anger issues appeared. So we worked on that & then it would switch to something else. I felt like the counsellor we were seeing must have thought I was a loony. We would get a grip on one thing & I would just come back saying Yeah thats good but now we have this problem.....
Eventually the counsellor suggested I take him to see a pead which we did who had a heap of blood & urine tests done which all came back normal. The pead things ADHD is the most likely issue but I don't agree. I am really thinking its either this ODD or Aspergers (to some degree). We have an appointment with the psychologist on the 25th.
He has been ok the last few weeks. Well "ok" for Evan.
But yeah just thought I would post. I lurk in this thread enough LOL
Oh FJ (sorry old habits). I'm sorry to hear it, but yeah... not too surprised? Things you posted in the past were like reading posts about M... Sorry I missed your post earlier.
Well... I'm amazed that we are still in a good patch. On Sunday, Matilda and J played in their room for 2 hours together. M instigated it, and they weren't doing parallel play, they were playing together! DH & I were in tears yet again about the amazing growth we are seeing. I just resigned myself I think, to the fact that she may not get any "better"? I've not looked for a cure for her, but for a way to make her life easier... She's just not as stressed.
