Thanks Deedee, cc6, and Ametrine!
cc6- yes, I have been following your posts about your ds. I'm happy for you and him that he is much happier! Yes, my ds has gotten increasingly unhappy as the year has progressed. I know he's bored to tears- literally. I believe he also feels different from his classmates. though he talks/ interacts at school with them; he does not see them as a friend. He is pretty sensitive and this has lead to hysteria (at home- recounting the details) of a kid telling him he doesn't like his shirt or doesn't like that ds plays violin. This k experience has also made him afraid to approach kids if they don't approach him first. (He's actually told me that he's scared to approach them.)hope things will improve with a better school situation. We are awaiting the recommendations from the tester for a plan.
Ametrine- we are also Christian. I think your advice may work- thanks! I hadn't thought of that! Definitely will still mention to the tester, but I think and hope if ds thinks/ knows he has a job here; it will help. (We have mentioned a purpose/ job in life before- maybe a year ago, but it was in response to purpose of life question. I think I am overwhelmed with how bad this year has been and thus not thinking at 100%)
Will keep you posted if I get further advice/ thoughts from neuropsychologist. Thanks- as always!! This forum is amazing!
