Worrying about childs transition to secondary

Hi all,

So my son literally finished primary school today. He's amazing (I know I'm biased). When he started primary school I hadn't been diagnosed but I knew I needed to speak to people to help him get play dates etc. To be honest, I don't think I did a good job, we've just been to the leaving party and we're probably the first to leave as he didn't really have a friend to join in with and I ended up sitting on my own whilst all the other parents sat with each other talking.

I don't want this to happen again for him, I know going to secondary it's more on him but still I worry about how I come across to people as I have no idea what I do wrong and why people don't want to be around me. Any advice or anything gladly received.

    Have you spoken to the schools SENCO to try to assess your son for his needs?

    It would be really useful to find out if this is the case or if it is something else altogether - best to get a focus now than later if he is failing.

    I would also speak to him about it as he may not want to have the label of "special needs" damaging his social standing, and since this is for his benefit then he should be a part of the discussion.
