Three years ago I couldn't even walk... so 40 miles three times in a week is an achievement for me, I am well aware that a lot of people do a LOT more...!

Morning all, I shall try to resist sun being out again...I know doing too much will set me off... :cuppa: A few light tasks and a leisurely dog walk today I think..kids weekend so some preparing for that... :smile:

I'm sorry to hear this, SL. I don't think people who have no experience of autism have any idea what sort of torture this can be for a youngster. It was the eye-contact thing which eventually led to the diagnosis of Asperger's for our daughter. I hope the teacher/ LSA involved is very aware of their mistake by now, but maybe a quiet appointment, in a few days time, with the head, would be a good idea. Not to complain, but to check on the school's preparedness for kids with autism. Teachers should be very aware of it these days: there really is little excuse, and it is dead easy for them to get an expert in to one of their weekly staff meetings to give a half hour talk on autism/ Aspergers. I am sure the head would be happy to hear that suggestion.

I know I've said it to you before, but these kiddies do grow up developing coping strategies. Please tell me to mind my own business..........but is your son aware that he has autism? We didn't know about our daughter's condition until she was 13, and told her about 6 months later........and that marked a clear turning point. She was able to research it herself, and realised that she had to teach herself stuff to be able to understand how the people around her worked, and how to find her way in the physical world. It also gave her an answer to the "why aren't I like everyone else?" questions, and convinced her that she didn't actually have OCD, which she had previously persuaded herself of.

Hi Mike
the school are, on the whole, pretty good and his core teacher is brilliant with him. It's some of the others that seem to have no clue!
The core and SN teachers all have comprehensive ASD training and as far as I know, the others have some awareness.
I will be discussing the incident in person next week. The thing that is so frustrating is that this particular teacher is known for shouting at the kids and when my older daughter found out about the incident she said, 'Oh yeah, him! He gets right in your face and screams at you. He's nothing but a bully'.
My son knows he has autism, yes. He was diagnosed when he was around 10 and we told him then. He hates being different, he never uses his condition as an excuse and won't tell people....well he won't talk unless you talk to him or say something that piques his interest!
