inattention

I'm very worried about Ben and school now. I talked to his teacher last night and she said he is very inattentive in class. He gets up out of his desk and just wanders arounud the room. She said she'd never had an autistic student who really needed an aide, but that it looks like Ben might. At least to help him keep on task.
 
I told him this morning to stay at his desk and listen to the teacher and to keep at his work. He's all, "Okay, Mommy! I will!" and what can I do but believe him? I will keep my fingers crossed that he has a good day! Constant reminders often work with Ben. That's step one.

Maybe I'll have to follow my friend's lead and get him into a private school with a smaller student/teacher ratio. I feel so bad that I haven't prepared him better for school... Now's the time to change that!

Just venting!
