Thanks so much for asking! He's doing really well...most of the time. The school's learning support teacher called me at home and talked to me for ages. She was absolutely wonderful. She pretty much said that there is nothing to indicate he has ASD by his actions and behaviour at school. And that there is a growing belief that a lot of 'ASD' type behaviours are more a personality type and not a disorder as such. That's not to say it doesn't exist, but just that not all kids are the same and there is no 'normal'. But I'm sure you know all this already. I was just so happy she called, because it put years of worrying and wondering to rest instantly. He can still be difficult to deal with at times, but we're just doing the best we can.
Excellent Thea! So lovely to have you back here... and on a regular basis too... thank goodness for the photo a day challenge! Great photo, you live in such a picturesque area, just beautiful xo
