Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I just got this from teacher Dear MOM, Today MY SON is having a difficult time in PE. He has broken down crying because he didn't get to do what he wanted to do. He is now crying and saying that he is going to run away. He has had a hard time readjusting to school since he came back. He hasn't joined the other students for group work and stays to himself most of the time. He seems unhappy and hasn't been completing his work. He went to Mr. TEACHER yesterday for 30 minutes to complete his work with some individual time and came back very quietly. He's lost his happy spirit and I'm worried about him. Have you seen anything like this at home? Thank you, Mrs. TEACHER My son will be 9 in March and is in the Advance Learning program (GATE) 3rd grade. He gets speech and RSP help. I need help finding a place where we can all go and talk to him about feeling sad or depress. Inland Regional wont take us cause he is just Aspergers and we just had him diagnose by the school on july. We dont have him diagnose by a doctor. I need to find a place to take him before he really gets depress. Any help will be appreciated. I fell lost right now. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 This is a tough week for kids going back to school after Christmas break. I have gotten an email from the school social worker saying the same thing about my son "n has had a diffcult transition back to school." He's had meltdowns and also pushed another boy yesterday, and got sent to the office for that. So I would say, give your son a little bit of time to readjust, and talk to him yourself and see what is really bothering him. If things don't improve in the next few weeks, you should talk to his doctor and get a referral for a psychologist/counselor in your area. It doesn't have to be a person associated with the school, it can just be a family counselor who can help your son with his coping skills. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Suzanne suzmarkwood@...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Try http://www.ieautism.org/resource_guide On page 17 of the resource list there's stuff for Asperger's. Some place in Alta Loma called Open Doors http://www.opendoorsnow.org/ They seem to be more into social groups, but they may know someone who can help. I am in San Diego, not Inland Empire, so I can't give you anything more specific. Regional Center is useless now anyway. The CA budget crisis has gutted them. I've been asking everyone for help with my daughter's anxiety issues. I know how much getting a notice from the teacher twists my gut. Hope this helps. > > I just got this from teacher > > Dear MOM, > Today MY SON is having a difficult time in PE. He has broken down crying > because he didn't get to do what he wanted to do.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Thank you . I had to go to school today to talk to the principal. The teacher forgot to let me know that my son also said he was going to shoot his head. The principal had a talk with him and he told him we had a gun so I had to come in for a talk. We just have one of those bb gun toy things from walmart cause that's the only gun I let my husband have in the house. I was mad , why didn't the teacher say anything........this year sucks. My son came home and I asked about his day and he was happy he had a good day. He didnt say anything about the gun thing he did tell me that during P.E. some kids got to be Pacman and other got to be ghosts so he was upset because he didn't get to be a ghost and that's all I was able to get out of him.I just take it day by day ..and hope for better days Catalina ValenzuelaAvon Independent Sales Representative My store is open 24/7 at: www.youravon.com/catalinavalenzuelaFree Shipping Code: FSANYFrom: chrislaine66 <chrislaine66@...> Sent: Thu, January 7, 2010 12:25:12 PMSubject: ( ) Re: Need help in San Bernardino California Try http://www.ieautism.org/resource_guide On page 17 of the resource list there's stuff for Asperger's.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 The night before my sons return to school from winter break he came down from his bedroom in tears. He was upset that vacation was over. He didn't want to go back to school. I had to lay with him in bed and talk to him for about a 1/2 hour. He was talking about death and accidents and about the world ending (thanks to the Mayan Calendar 2012). It was very emotional but showed me how difficult transisions are for him. This was in his mind and ending of everything that made him happy. Thankfully the school has really eased him back into the routine and now at the end of the week he is doing much better. I share all of this to illustrate how difficult transitions can be for our super sensitive Aspies. They make connections between things that we wouldn't. Ask him if he is sad about his vacation being over and see if he can talk through some of this. You may be surprised at what thoughts he has been having all prompted by a little change in his routine. If it doesn't improve of course I would talk to a doctor.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Vickie I agree with you. My 15yr son just went back to school this week after vacation. He was not happy about going back to school..anxiety. And to top it off, he has finals next week. He perseverates about finals. I talk to him and ensure him that he will do fine and we are so proud of him. Routine at home is off but slowly getting back into it. And yes regarding the Mayan 2012 calendar...aagh!!! That is a topic I know so well from my son. He is on abilify/concerta (the lowest dose). Before meds, it was worse but it is better but with every new situation there are problems which we talk about and help him to understand. Everyday is a learning experience but a great one!
