Barnaby Crumble

It feels like my somns whole life is being ripped out from underneth him, we've had to take him out of mainstream school as he cant cope, he will be home tutored til the end of his exams, hes decided he cant go to the school prom as we wont be there for him, and we have had to pull him out f the german exchange holiday as its very obvious that he wont cope as he keeps shutting down. can anyone suggest a holiday or days out that I could take him on so that he has something to look forward to that I can be there for him if needed and maybe meet some other Aspie kids.

  • Hi Barnaby crumble - so sorry to hear what happened.  What a downer.  Has he said what he'd like to do instead?  My son had 2 holidays each yr for a number of yrs.  We had a glitch when 1 of his regular holidays was approaching so I made him an offer of something I thought he'd enjoy - day trips.  He is a practical person + fortunately I was spot on.  So it's what interests him. There are so many stories on here about able pupils who have lots of trouble or cant cope with mainstream.  It's a real confidence-killer for them so it's finding a way of building up their confidence again.  There a lots of people on here who can give better advice than me, my son isn't an aspie.  I'm sure they'll be along soon.  Just wanted to say I know how things like this feel.  Hope things improve soon.
