Team Boy Wonder!

After another 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' reading marathon, Boy Wonder fell to sleep in the early hours. He woke again quite early and wanted to go straight onto Minecraft. We explained that this couldn't happen as he needed to get ready for school. Boy Wonder exploded into an angry rage and locked himself in the bathroom! Superman managed to unlock the door from the outside with his multi tool and then I dealt with the aftermath. In short, Boy Wonder stated that we shouldn't make him angry!

I helped Boy Wonder to get dressed and by this point he had moved into his erratic stage. I got Cat Girl ready and then we went downstairs. Once they had eaten breakfast I allowed ten minutes on the dreaded Minecraft before school.

On arrival at school I spoke to the teaching assistant about Boy Wonder's anger outburst and erratic presentation. She said that she would speak to the teacher and keep an eye on him. I gave Cat Girl's teacher the lovingly prepared letter from her G.P and she was allowed back into school!

Today was ' Search for a second opinion Educational Psychologist' day. I half expected this to be difficult but in fact after speaking to few, I found a lady who specialises in autism and complex needs.  After a very in depth phone conversation and a chat with Superman we agreed that she would jump on board Team Boy Wonder. She arranged to visit to do the first part of the assessment next week at the school and follow up at home in the school holidays. She will certainly compliment the rest of the team!

After school the children went to clubs. Boy Wonder still appeared quiet and had been described as such in school today too. I caught up on his home school diary which had quite a bit in it that was likely to cause anxiety but hadn't been discussed.

This evening Boy Wonder spent time in his room watching football. He then went onto reading. Cat Girl went to bed settled and happy. She had seen her favourite supply teacher today at school!
