Hi all
I am Emma, mummy to a beautiful little man who has an Autistic Spectrum Disorder diagnosed in June 2010. He is 5yrs old and has been in mainstream school for a year now. However we do not feel this is the right place for him. We are looking for assistance as to what to do next and how to go about moving him to a school more fitted to deal with his needs.
He may also have ADHD too. And we are waiting for an EEG to look into the absences he's been having.
Finding it a struggle sometimes. Feel like children and parents at school do not like the fact our son is in mainstream school. I have come away from school today wanting to cry because of something a 5yr old said to me about our son.
He didn't ask to be autistic, and I wish people weren't so ignorant.
Feels so good to have somewhere to talk to people who actually understand us.
look forward to getting to know you all better.
Emma xx
