Hi :)

Hi,

My name is Sarah.  I have 2 kids with my partner.  Our son who is nearly 6 is on the way to being diagnosed with Autism.  We saw a Paediatrician a few weeks ago and she assessed him as autistic straight away.  She said it would not be official until he saw another professional.  He has an assessment with a Speech and Language Therapist in early Dec.

I wanted to say hi and ask if anyone has issues with their kids refusing to go to school.   Our son has had a period of going to school with no problems but today was horrible and he ran out of the classroom and found me at the school gate.  I am not sure why this has started now.  He did have issues last year but this is the first time in the new school year.  He says he hates school and does not want to go.  I am sure it is because of the sensory overload and the many other struggles he has but I am not sure how to make it better for him.

Any advice would be lovely.  Thanks. :)
