Another suggestion is that u seek the current CC’s approval to sit in your son’s class for a day and see how he interacts with other children and if his behavior matches the teachers’ description. But of course, you will need to his so that he can’t see u.
Sometimes is just a matter of changing sch. I feel that u dun hv to worry that he can’t adapt to new sch because in life, he has to learn how to adapt to changes too. -

www, would it help if you were to put aside all the clutter and ask yourself what is the first and key issue that you need to address here and now? Maybe that could be a way to help you think through.
Doctor advised us put both schools. Said my child need to mix with all the children. -

My child could sit still like a robot and not move around in childcare as and when the childcare teacher wants? Ask my child not to be playful and disturb others? -
Www, u mentioned that your child talks to u n strangers, I suppose all adults? How about other children, his peers? Does he know how to play with them? Share things with them and approach them?
There is a difference. My son who is diagnosed with mild autism also has no problem talking to us, saying hi to adults but his problem is with his peers. He prefers to play alone or parallel with them or only talk to them on things he wants to talk about.
Are u a local or foreigner? If local, I doubt u can enroll your son to an international sch. And the social class in Weecare are managed by teachers who are trained in this area, not the same as mainstream teachers.
How old is your son btw? -

My child is 5. We play in group at home...yes all adults. For peers, my child is happy with those not disturbing the toys when my child is playing. Must ask permission before touching. If no permission, my child will not be happy.Www, u mentioned that your child talks to u n strangers, I suppose all adults? How about other children, his peers? Does he know how to play with them?

Even when I play together also must ask permission before touching. Is rude not to ask permission. -
Does he play games with his peers?

I think so, have to check with cc teachers.

Do you arrange play dates with him? you can also observe for yourself how he interacts with other children. At 5 years old, they should be talking to each other and playing games together already.
When I initially had doubts about my son’s condition, I read up, observe how children at his age interacts and compare if my son is doing the same. Also, I stayed back in his school after dropping him and hid in a corner to observe him. After a few times, I was convinced that he needed help and that’s when all the therapies session starts.
As my kid is also mild, his grandparents and even my friends didn’t think anything was wrong with him but it takes experience and alot of reading to understand what makes a kid autistic and not. I am not implying that your son is one but since he is already 5 and the doctor in hospital has diagnosed him to be a mild case, there must be some underlying conditions that he displayed that led the doctor to make this conclusion. For all you know, he could be very mild and with high IQ. -
Hi Blueblet,
May I know how old is your dd when you go KK? My ds is 3.5 now, his childcare teacher said he is ok except not talking to peers. I bring him to see a doctor, the doctor said he is fine, but will arrange a school visit. I just want to know except social skills, your dd got any other problems?
