I think your kid is about same age as my NT gal. My gal so far knows her a-z. Count 1-10. Can read only those sight words that I taught her repeatedly like up, is, am.
So your boy is rather advanced acad already. Don't worry. U should be more concerned about his social skills. When my boy was this age, I sent him to school not to learn acad stuff but to pick up social skills which he lacked. At 2.5, u shouldn't be worried about acad work. even for a normal kid, it should be in the lower priority. It's the time to teach about sharing, social skills, listening to instructions etc.

My gal is also behind my boy in terms of acad stuff but she can converse better with me than what he is doing now!
Ok understand now. Recently I find out tat go school is bad for my son ESP full day. -
Kids at child care already know how to manipulate teachers n situation whereas our child cannot.
For example kids there throw or hitting my son, my son just SIAM it. Only until he can’t bear anymore he will go act on that bad kids. But when my son react these kids know how to complaints to teacher. In return my son seems to be misbehave child. As prior scene teachers are unaware what happen cuz the class size are so big.
My son being victimize . -
And in NURSERy 1, alot Of time is free n easy kids are playing their own toys n such.
Now tat a issue . ESP they duno how to socialize n imaginary play. End up ASD will go
Into their own world … Worse esp bullies come
And teacher there will not guide ASD child what does it means by these instructions . No response they just give up n leave them cuz the class is big -
Heart pain!! I need to work full time . Total helpless
Teachers are stereotype and think ASD are always hav attitude or meltdown problem.
So if my son react to bullies teacher will say ASD attitude :’ (
Total helpless and we can’t complaint as school already accommodating our ASD child to be in school
Worst still my son will get the wrong idea tat he shouldn’t react to bullies arghhhhh -

How many kids are there in the class? When my son was in pre-n, it was only 5-6 kids. Sometimes when there is flu spreading, can reduce to 2 kids! But eventually the class grew to 16 to 2 teachers so not so good. The last cc he went to started off also only 6-8 kids. Then grow until very big. In a sense it’s good because it helps him in the initial stages when he needed more attention and slowly tapers off. So when choosing a cc, find those with better student teacher ratio. At this age, they need more attn.
My boy also has a mild temper. But thankfully when he was in cc, he has not been really bullied other than the occasional bite. He also bites sometimes, so I close an eye when he gets one. I asked the teacher to video tape the class to see how he behaves in class. Very surprised to see that when his toys were snatched by another kid, there will be someone who will be there to take back for him. The bully was also scolded by the kid. Lol. Maybe u can ask the teacher to partner him with a nurturing kid in class. Usually they pair kids up. So a nurturing kid will benefit him a lot. -
I’m just wondering, maybe u should change the school. And don’t tell the sch about his condition and see how they handle first.

24 kids w 2 teachers.
I dare not change school wait change got kick out I die…
Mashy, I so heart pain , 3 incidents at playground

2. Week ago when my son saw a older kid w ball n he start to chase tat boy wan to play ball w him. That older boy use his index finger pointing at his own ear in circle indicating my son is crazy !! Sob
3. Also once my son go to a girl at his age , she holding a ball. My son say to her, "I want ball pls" . The girl refuse and walk away…so sad -

If he is suffering from such taunts, it’s better to leave. There are always other schools. And u don’t need to tell of his condition. I think to continue staying in this type of unsupportive environment is more detrimental and it may also be the cause for his withdrawals. I read that many victims of bullying incidents become withdrawn. -

Those ratio good one are expensive childcare.. for cheap one is like tat one. 12 to 1 teacher. One class total 24 kids with 2 teachers..

That means keep to themselves, don't talk much and don't interact.
Not really. Expensive childcare can also have poor ratio and cheap ones can have good ratio. U just need to look around. 24 is actually a lot for 2 teachers to handle. And usually in N1, it's 2: 16.
Give a call to the cc near your place. Look around more. There may be some hidden gems. I found mine thru recommendation. It wasn't in my radar even. But lucky to find it.
