The diagnoses has not been given yet as we still have a few more weeks of observation/questioning. However, BUP felt confident enough to inform the school that we are dealing with both ADHD and Aspergers.
It's just not decided which one affects his behaviour most and where on the Autism spectrum he is.
I was considering renaming my blog 'twice exceptional' but I think I'll have to go with 'three times exceptional'.
Highly gifted, ADHD and Aspergers. That does allow for a dynamic mixture.
The social side is going better than ever. Our contrarian is visiting one of his two new friends nearly every day of the week. I have informed the parents of the situation and told them to please just let me know if it gets too much for them.
The 'Vennegruppe' last week went well. I'm glad I went with and stayed because my little chap did get very 'enthusiastic' at times but I managed to calm him down reasonably fast.
The school has introduced a 'motivational learning chart' where he gets a star if he completes X amount of questions.
He might have outgrown the stars but I will add a beyblade of his choice if he manages to get all the stars for the month.
We have to work on his motivation!
