hello thank you for taking the time to read this. my son has recently been diagnosed with autism and is 11 and is soon due to start mainstream secondary school in September, he is very sensitive to touch and noise and struggles in crowded situations and is very sensitive to clothing, he doesn't cope well to change and i'm very worried about how he will cope he already finds primary school difficult and masks a lot whilst in school which causes him for have a meltdown when he gets home, i have requested that i have a meeting with the senco but an waiting on this. i'm worried that my son will struggle more as it is a larger school and a lot busier, i'm sorry if this sounds like i'm droning on but i'm very worried and am hoping to get some advise so i can help my son with this next hurdle many thanks
Hi it seems to me that you’re doing the right thing with meeting the Dency, hopefully they’ll be able to help you and put your mind at ease. Just wondered with regards to clothing are you aware that Asda does “sensory friendly” school uniform with no labels and softer seams? Think it’s called easy on.
thank you i didn't know that asda did those i will look in to this i've found some seamless socks that have really helped but i am forever cutting lables out of his clothing, as he constantly chews he puts holes in all his clothes many thanks
