Expectations make a lot of difference too. You know you are chelating,

you see changes. The teacher knows autism doesn't go away or improve,

he/she doesn't see changes

Ok - I know all children will act somewhat differently at school - butI just came back from a meeting with my son's teacher who told us thatshe when she asks my son either closed-ended or open-ended questionshe will sometimes respond with an answer that makes absolutely nosense (to her).

====>, did the teacher give any examples of some communication with your son that you could share? Something that illustrates what she is talking about?

If not, it may be helpful to ask for some exact examples as that might illuminate the problem. I always ask for examples, whether the comment is good or bad, that way I can tell if someone is just saying something or if they actually know what they're talking about and just trying to blow smoke up your........

He is four years old - and with the language delay it will beimpossible to talk to him about what is going on at school that makeshim less interested/able to talk to people/answer questions etc. Sowe are trying to think of who might be able to help us figure thisout. Do ed psychs help with this sort of thing - or better to speakto a child psychologist?We're in Hertfordshire, if anyone has any resources up this way...Thanks,
