As he gets older Aidan is becoming more and more aware of how different he is from his peers.
Over the holidays their task was to create a piece of art work showing the river they had visited for their last school trip.
Aidan wanted to give a good feel of the river so he painted a large picture with loo roll added to the blue paint to give the river texture, and gravel added to the brown paint for the rivers edges.
Its a great picture, but obviously because of his coordination issues it does not match that of his mates.
He was reluctant to take the homework in, and after a few days he admitted that he felt his work was rubbish, and silly in comparison.
All that work and effort, and he is left feeling like that!
We had a chat and a big moan about how rubbish it is being normal, and we talked about if he wanted to just draw a picture to take in, but he declined the offer. He has a deadline for the work to be in tomorrow, so lets see if he willingly takes it in
