Hello ,
My son is 9 he was diagnosed with autism on Monday.
I too am a bit lost and don’t have much access to the school at the moment. Only a 1 hour group class online each day.
I too am struggling to know how to help him but he does seem to love being home schooled at the moment so that is a silver lining I suppose.
As my son finds interacting with other children difficult and noise at school very stressful. He seems to be content but I would like to catch him up on his school work as he is somewhat behind in English and finds writing difficult.
please do share any links you find. I would also like to know about financial help so I can get him a tutor.
I am looking into disability allowance and carers allowance as last year I lost my job. And things are very tight financially for us at the moment.
can I ask how long you parents are spending each day doing home schooling? Sometimes to get 60-70% of the tasks done takes around 4 hours. So I am getting very tired as I have a 7 year old daughter who needs home schooling too In lockdown.
Thanks for any tips or links for help.
Amanda
