RE: All About Autism
Thanks all for the advice and suggestions. So far I have informed the form teacher at the start of school. Throughout the whole year she has not reached out to me to inform of any problems. I have not checked in with her as I understand they have 40 students to handle. The only teacher that SMS me once in a blue moon is his maths teacher to inform that he has not done his work and I will ensure he does it. My son is the quiet type so he tends to be a "good" boy to teachers. Even last year in P6, he received the Edusave Award.
He handles things himself. Example once he went to school without his mask. He told me when he reached his school, he suddenly realised when he touched his face. So he quickly went to the toilet instead of his class. He was fortunate that a boy in the toilet noticed and offered him a spare mask. However when the boy was speaking to him, he recalled that I had put a spare mask in his bag months ago. So he declined and wore his own spare mask. I am proud that he could find his own way to solve the problem.
I will try to break it to him slowly and see how it goes. I just dont want him to feel inferior or that he is any less "normal" than other kids. That is my dilemma in letting him know. But if I want to bring him for any therapy or counselling, I will need to let him know soon. Right now, I don’t know what therapy or counselling is suitable for him and where I should start. Some say go polyclinic.
