Hi I'm new here

Maricky

Hi im a single mum with a gorgeous 3 year old boy who  has ASD. He is the sweetest happiest little man i know and very loving. He will start mainstream pre school in october but with support and would love to hear from other parents on their experiences on pre school and whether the school offered adequate support.im confused as to whether my son would benefit more from a school dealing with autistic children only but i realise places for these are like gold dust but i worry that his window of learning is at its best between ages of 2 and 5 and i dont want him to miss out on this crucial time. Would also love to hear from parents of autistic children in general Smile

    We selected an old style Montessori nursery and that worked out well as they pervious had experience of ASD. They also provided extra effort with one-one support. Montessori concepts and values fitted in quite well.

    We visited a few schools and selected an autism special school as it would be the best environment to meet the needs of our child. The statement process was done before and observations were done in the nursery i.e. an education setting.

    It’s important you visit all the schools and select one which will benefit your child. You need to state why this school and why not the others. If you are determined to get your child in the right school and also seek the right help and advise you will be fine!

    We just started a new meet-up group ! I think its important for families to meet at local level for support and advise as the Autism journey can be very challenging best of times.

    Have a look at http://www.meetup.com/AutismUK/ and let us know what you think.
