I would speak to the school about what you are thinking and doing too, as they might be able to help there as well - wish you both the best for it.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919306552295804603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3609651124324919016.post-60368280449526873532010-06-20T21:52:28.766+01:002010-06-20T21:52:28.766+01:00Oh Heather, what a week.

A formal Autism diagnosis would bring with it so many resources. My George is sent on errands within the school when his aide can sense him getting stressed. Being able to leave the situation and do something physical usually solves the problem.

My sister is a psychologist with a special interest in autism and I know she would tell you to go back and ask for more help and a referral to a child psychologist so she can help Jake practise ways of managing his own behaviour. Wishing you all the best.Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764280029794453933noreply@blogger.com
