He's fallen behind in everything and I'm told the issues above are what the school thinks is causing it.
He has a special status in the school related to his Autism. I forget what they call it (some numbers) but they are trying to help him, he has a social interaction class specifically but it just all does not seem like enough.
I'm hoping to put him in the program in the summer. I think it could help. They actually allow a sibling to go along at a small cost and I think that might do him a world of good with his little brother (his voice and social liason  ) there. |
Maybe the teachers would be willing to check if he needs help, or maybe an aide could help with that but I'd be careful about that and make sure the aide is someone who treats your child well and doesn't make them overly uncomfortable...I only say that because when I was a kid some of the 'aides' seemed generally mean over all. I never had one but it seemed like a lot would get after the kids they were aides for things they couldn't exactly control.
But yeah I am 23 and I still can't approach someone I don't know and start talking to them.
