Hi, I have had a really horrible day , my son who has ADHD & ASD has now been excluded from school for tomorrow and I will need to take him in on Friday morning for a meeting .
when I picked him up from school I asked ‘How was your day?
he relied ‘ Mm it was ok but there was a small incident , so I asked what was the incident ? He replied with ‘Oh the head of year said he will call you but it’s fine it all sorted out .
Ten minutes after I arrived home the school calls and informed me that my son was in isolation most of the day as he had taken a knife from the CDT lesson and had it in his bag in the playground. After a discussion with him this evening he told me that he didn’t know he picked up the knife as when I’m the lesson he wasn’t following instructions or behaving appropriately so they asked him to leave the lesson , he says he picked up his work and the craft knife was within his work and he didn’t know it was there ! My question to him was when he realised he had the knife why he didn’t take it to a teacher or the school reception, he says he doesn’t know . The donor believe him as his lies are so bad I don’t believe even when he could be telling the truth . So now he is excluded for safety reasons which I totally understand. I’ve had a long and lengthy conversation with him regarding this tonight and I don’t know what else to do ? I am really struggling with his behaviour and lies . It has affected my life so much and seems to be heating worse . On our last CAMHS review I was told to contact the AFSO which I did and she gave me some good advice but also then mentioned I should get back in touch with CAMHs which I have tried but I have heard nothing yet ... why is it so hard to get any help ?
