botakgundul,


Thank you once again for the detailed write up.

Yup I have authorized KKH to release all documents (Psychological reports, Medical Reports, IQ test reports) to the school.

On top of this, I have also send the AEDs the \"School readiness\" report as well.

I have already reached out to the AEDs and will share all your pointers with the AEDs as well. I hope he will meet a nice buddy in class. Right now in his mainstream CC, he also have this buddy who always look out for him. But too bad they are not enrolled in the same school.

May all our kids keep meeting kind souls along the way.

No problem. I'm glad that you find it useful. Let us helping each other... Cheers!

For St. Andrew, it's not our favour due to long waiting list.

DS1 is going into St. Andrews P1 in Jan. I am an old boy there too. If there is anything I can help, let me know.

If you happen to try this out, do share how it goes. I have read some books on how pets (usually dogs or horses) will help ASD children. While it is not evidence-based, there are anecdotal success stories.

I too am not a pet person, and unlikely that we will have a pet dog cos we are staying with the ILs and they are not into pets too. But I would be keen to learn about how this works.

Ok. Getting one tomorrow. Nowadays buy pet v troublesome. Must research, view, fix appt, wait for right colour etc. I don't know how I can scientifically claim it will help but I will report whatever I observe...

lol, you will be surprised (or maybe not?) my GAL is into trucks, trucks and more trucks - cement mixer, dump truck, army truck, tow truck. You name it. We have all sorts of big and small truck toys at home. At one stage, all the family members bought trucks for her during Christmas, until I have to tell everyone to stop ...

:rotflmao: your girl is going to be popular with the guys one day...
