Okay, had that nice chat with my son's teacher. Took 45 minutes to tell me my son has social problems. They want him to see a social skills worker (since when do they have those in school?) and if that doesn't work, he needs to be presented to the SST (don't know what that stands for) Committee for suggestions to the teacher and if that doesn't work, he needs to be tested for social disorders. One disorder may be Aspergers, but I don't see it. The boy is shy and doesn't like to talk in groups. He is a very talkative boy at home and with family. The teacher was amazed by the difference in him when she spoke to him in the hallway, with me by his side. He had no problem answering her questions. He doesn't have any problems learning, so what is the big deal?

There's no one here, there's no one here!

Hey, hey, hey. *protects her stuff*

I don't know a lot about social disorders, but from what you said here, he just sounds shy around people he's not comfortable with. *hugs* I hope this gets sorted for you and him.

*protects my stuff too*

That is exactly it. He opens up a lot when he gets to know you. He is exactly like his Dad in that way.

I have just realized that my boyfriend is a delivery boy *hides boyfriend from Jann*

There's no one here, there's no one here!

These days people call everything a disorder

As I shy kid (I was, I swear) I can tell you there is nothing wrong with being shy and you eventually outgrow it

*Imagines if Jann had a diary and Nad read it to the WooHoos*

''Dear diary,

Brad's the one! I know he is... I never felt like this before...''

...But in this version, she wrote down her dreams, of course...

Mamma Mia reference!!!
I have seen that movie way to many times.
*Clicks link*
Oh...

...

I have nothing to add to that.
Well maybe, no.
*Sneaks out*

[Valerie_Jackson]

Night woohoos!!!
*Huggles*

meow!

[starlover]

Whatever floats your boat...

Haven't they ever heard of shy children? *hugs Trek*

Really these days I sometimes get the feeling schools *want* children to have something wrong with them...(in here schools test way too quickly on children as well)

[es!]

Nik,
it doesn't sound like Aspergers (or any other social disorder) to me. As everybody else here says, your son is most probably only shy *hugs*
However, I know from my immediate environment that it's better to watch out for such things.
I think it's not bad to go meet that soft skills worker. Could help your son to overcome his shyness
just my 2 cents

[Jumble]

Oh. *blinks*
Oooooh! You... oh!
*blinks*
Oh no!

WoodNight!

Yes! Do it!

Pretty much what I was going to say

Nik, it's always a shock to have your child picked out as possibly having any kind of behavioural problem, and your natural instinct is to deny and protect, but look on it as the teacher doing her job and paying attention to the children she teaches, and seeing which ones may need extra help. Maybe he can be helped to get over his shyness so that it won't be a problem for him as he grows up, thereby allowing him to become more confident in his relationships with others. That can't be a bad thing can it?

My youngest grandson, Oren, has been seeing a social skills worker recently. He's not shy, but he did have a problem relating to other children. My daughter's first reaction was denial, followed by guilt The techniques the skills worker used have helped him and have also helped his mum to understand how best to help him. He's a lot happier and has made more friends now.

So basically, give it a chance, see where it goes

*hugs WooHoos*
*returns all 'borrowed' picures and goes to sit in the corner with her own Coopie and Jonathon Young stash*
(yes, that really is an odd combination... Hm.)

...

That's true. I see that happening too. Every kid as ADHD, forms of authism etc. Sure there are enough kids who actually do have that, but really, it seems to have become a common thing now...

*hugs Nik*

meow!

Woof.

Whatever floats your boat...

*shakes head and mutters about Pukkies insanity*
...

Hmpf.

[DutchIndeed]

Yes! Do it!

Oooh. Now I feel challenged.

Forget what I said, jumble's right.
(She's so smart. That's why she mends kids. *nods*)

[starlover]

Jumble is right too but....

That's also true...they tested me for all those things...came out nothing was wrong with me I'm just a bit active...the only thing that did came out was that I had dyslexia(sp?)

Anyway some social practise can never hurt...I think... I know my mom works with "problem" kids(around the age of 5/6/7) and if you see how much they progress in one year time! It's amazing and good to see

*hops out*
