Hello All!
New to the group here... but wanting some opinions and help.....
my son sam has aspergers ocd adhd and high anxiety....hes in 3rd grade this year! Academics wise he is doing awesome!! i am very proud of him for that..... but when it comes to home time and meltdowns and anxiety issues I am lost as what to do! I have read a bunch of other peoples conversations on here for advice and read a WHOLE bunch of books on all the diagnosis' that he has ....
And still having issues with meltdowns at home after school.... anxiety issues to change in routine.... and just not wanting to apply himself to things or activities.....
I just went to conferences for him last week... i left almost in tears.... he is doing so well when it comes to the academics.... but all the rest of the time hes having many problems.....blurting out answers. not raising his hand.. hard time playing with other kids and making friends..... paying attention ... sitting still..... not being bugged by people around him......And i left there wondering if thats the way its gonna be every year with conferences ...... always the yes hes doing welll.....but.....
I thought i had dealt with all the grief and feelings of sadness over whats happening with my son... but i am wondering now what else i can do to help him and help myself.....
Thanks for listening to me ramble... or vent or whatever you wanna call it !

I too am in the same boat. I have a 7 year old with Aspergers. academicaly he is wonderful, but very lacking in hand writing. he is bullying all the other kids. he does not mean to but during his meltdowns he really had no control at that point. I went to conferences and also left in tears. it is very hard to deal with some day. family is great but sometimes they just dont understand. my prayers will be with you just hang in there.

I feel your pain. My six year old has frequent meltdowns over simple things. I have found that (this may sound mean...) if I tell him to go to his room until he is done, and he will go and sit in his swing... The meltdowns get shorter and shorter. He does have social issues with making friends, he seems to say the most off the wall things to other kids. I am also having a problem with him and eating to much. He seems to always want to snack. Does anyone have the eating issues?
