We've been really struggling with my son over the past few months. Things have turned around a good bit since Anna was born (I know, only 6 weeks -- but both his teacher and therapist have been very struck by it). I do think *part* of it was anxiety over the coming baby, whom he now adores.

He still has ADHD and some sensory issues, but is doing better socially at school. He's been able to start full-day K for 3 days/week (YAY!), and is even going to be able through good behavior to earn time with the gifted and talented teacher.

The teacher has also started making some small accomodations for him, like letting him walk the hot lunch list to the office and letting him hop there to get some of his energy out.

Given that people were telling us he had Asperger's in September, this is a huge step forward for all of us. Knock on wood that it lasts.

Wow, what an improvement in diagnosis! I hope he continues to florish and do well, great that the school is accomodating and ensuring that he'll thrive.


I know! It never seemed like Asperger's fit to me, at least with what I saw at home and playing with kids in small groups or 1-on-1. It was very confusing. But apparently it was a different matter at school.

Sounds like things are going well.

Don't worry too much about the dx, there are so many shared characteristics between a lot of it!

We're still going through a lot of the same stuff you are at home! But at least school has settled down. I'd much rather have him act out at home than at school.

I hope things are going better with all of you -- I was wondering about it the other day when I saw you had chicken pox on top of it all!
