after assesment

my 11 year old recently had the ados assesment with camhsi got a phone call today to say my son scored high from the things he struggles with at home but as for in the assesment and at school he didnt score any im feeling quite low and that i have some how let my son down :-( i have fought from him been 2 up to now for them to even accept that he should have the ados and now i dont know what to do and which way to go. he is due to start high school in sept and because they cant diagnose him he wont meet the criterea for funding for support in school and will have to go through high school basically doing it on his own . will they re asses him if he gets to high school and the school decides he needs it or do u only get one shot at the ados assesment

    Thanks for posting that, I know this first hand, my son will hold things in until he gets home then it all comes out with a big bang when he gets home, and then it can be hours until he calms down, thank God he isn't at school any more, the Special School was a lot better than mainstream but even at Special school there were problems, no-one to go to to compain, one of the teachers, he wasnt even a teacher just a classroom assistant was so horrible to the kids, he's been sacked now thank God, but my son was trying to take GCSEs and I didnt dare complain, other parents did though, I feel so selfish, I wanted my son to get good qualifications and was too scared to complain, the horrible man was mocking the kids and winding them up, he would up my son the day before his GCSE exam, and my son was so upset it took 3 hours to calm him down. But yes, they DO hold things in until they get home, until they get somewhere safe enough to explode.

    I dont want to complain about my sons special school as there were some fantastic teachers, but why do some people that aren't even teachers seem to get special treatment and shielded from discipline? It wasnt the teachers it was just a few special assistants, not even proper trained teachers.
