Hello, I'm very new to this forum and just wonder if anyone has any advice.
My son is 8 and in Year 3. He has no diagnosis as yet (very long delay at CAMHS) but is suspected to have high functioning autism. He is bright and generally copes well in his one form entry state school. His main issues concern regulation of emotions and some sensory issues- he gets frustrated easily and struggles to understand how to maintain friendships.
My question is regarding his schooling going forward. I work in a private boys prep school and would get a significant discount if I were to put him in this school. He would be in a smaller, all boys class and get more teacher attention and more of a chance to express his indivduality but I'm not sure if the disruption would be worth it? Does anyone have any experience or advice? I am anxious to make the right decision and not sure what is going to be for the best.
thanks in advance!
