Hi. Let me start by introducing my son and I. He is 7 years old and in the first grade. He has always preferred to play alone or with one person. He is very affectionate to me, but on his terms. He has a very difficult time adapting to school due to the overwhelming people there. Unexpected changes will throw him into a meltdown. During drills his teacher keeps him next to her because he will go into a panic. He has had fewer meltdowns during school due to the support and understanding of his teacher and a few others. He loves trucks and cars and movies. Once he starts a movie it must be on until its over. I try to keep a routine in place to defuse the meltdowns. He has an 8 yr old sister and 18 month old brother. He does well with them. He is a great child. Always apologetic when he comes out of his meltdowns. When I have the time I enjoy reading. I'm sorry if this is rambling, because I have so much I'd like to say just not sure how. In time I am sure I will get it out.
