[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 553729"] He's old enough to know that 3 months is a long time. He might also feel a little abandoned and fearing that 3 months will turn into forever. Do you know for sure that it will only be 3 months? You could maybe do a calendar "countdown" with him. difficult child 1 has huge abandonment issues and sometimes pushes me to "test" that I won't leave either. It's really hard sometimes even at his age. He KNOWS I'm not going anywhere but the fear over-rides that logic sometimes. Do these "stupid" teachers know that blurting is common for younger Aspies? Do they know that he will take EVERYTHING they say literally? I am glad you have the support of the principal at least. That might be someone you can talk to about how to educate these darned teachers more about Asperger's. How long is he usually sent to the office for? Have you asked for a Functional Behavior Assessment and a behavior plan so the teachers are "told" what to do when he blurts, etc? If it's covered in a behavior plan and they aren't following it, you need to call them on it. If you haven't done this yet, it's definitely time to do it. As for helping him cope, I don't know what else to suggest. Do you have a Big Brother program there or a military kids group? They might be of some help. Sorry he (and you) are going through this. I really think his fear/anxiety about dad leaving is getting in the way. If he doesn't see a therapist of any kind, you might want to also check into that. {{{{(((HUGS)))}}} to all of you. [/QUOTE]
