From the age of five, Ruben's unpredictable behaviour saw him getting into trouble with his primary school teacher - who thought he was 'mucking around' in class.
His mum, Stephanie, 44, was told that her son's behaviour was poor, he was failing to pay attention in lessons and he was too distracted by 'daydreaming'.
But Stephanie, who wished not to disclose her surname, couldn't pinpoint why her kind-hearted little boy was suddenly the 'naughty one' and getting lots of sanctions in school.
