The older he gets, the more I notice how far he's slipping away from his peers; how I wish that he were not, but it's a fact. I often wonder whether he has Classic Autism and all that entails, or Asperger Syndrome, although the latter is no longer a formal diagnosis, as it was removed from the DSM V. I still state that I have it though. The school reports state that he doesn't appear to having a learning disability, but I'm not sure - he's behind on so much and his fine and gross motor skills aren't age appropriate. He still wets the bed at night and cannot do up his shoelaces, I bought him a pair of (adult size four!) Nikes a month ago and you should hear him complain (actually: I wouldn't recommend it).
Anyway, to conclude - we're planning to take him out of Cubs after the end of the summer term as he'll turn ten in late August and as far as I know the age limit for the organisation is ten-and-a-half anyway. As for Scouts - no bloody way! I know that the Scout Organisation is supposed to welcome people with disabilities, but I don't think that, in reality, they have the capacity to deal with it. My neurotypical husband tends to help out regularly so that Master Logic doesn't feel too left out.
