Guest guest Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hi everyone, I'm the mother of a 10 year old boy who I am now finding out what has been treated as extreme ADHD all these years is actually AS. The school is not so cooperative with me on testing him so I had to put it in writing demanding he be tested to get help. He is a very brilliant student. He is unorganized, and often loses, misplaces, or forgets homework pages. He has had after school detention for the last two weeks for forgetting homework and has another 2 hour afterschool coming up in a couple weeks, then it's to saturday school if it continues. It about brings me to tears that the school is just saying he is unorganized. I see him every day, all day, for the last 10 years. He has very good intentions but he just gets so easily distracted he forgets to do what he was told to do. He doesn't have many friends, not close ones either. Other kids are sarcastic and rude to him and he just doesn't see it like I do. He can't read their attitude in their voice or body language either. I am really hoping to learn a lot from all of you about how to help him and help myself also. I find myself all the time tell him to stop acting like that or stop doing that or stop making that noise. He can't control it and I know that, I just keep trying to help him help himself. I look forward to reading all the messages in the group! & Cole from Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
