Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 My son's school has really upset me.I went to see his teacher today because he said was feeling angry and he had asked to take in something in his pocket to squeeze like his Asperger's friend had (he had one himself at school in the past). His teacher had told me it was not working as he was 'playing' with it (actually he was stretching it which he finds calming) and that he didn't get angry or stressed and was a very mellow child. I was amazed. my son is 7 and has been in the mental health system since 3. At last he is now having a proper assessment and now it looks as if aspergers/high functioning autism and poss ADHD are to be confirmed. At home his behaviour follows a predictable cycle of 2-3 weeks as a lovely child with just the Asperger's traits followed by 2-3 weeks of hell with violent outburst (mainly towards me) where he punches, kicks and scratches me and has drawn blood numerous times and has broken a door and a table. He has had anger issues at school which they seem to have forgotten about and now they are asking me if I have tried reward charts and punishing him. I have tried absolutley everything and explained how cyclic it is and I felt she wasn't listening. Once again I left feeling his problems were brushed aside and my parenting skills were being brought in to question. Any idea what i should do. My son says he does get very angry and stressed at school. What is going on? Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
