Son refuses to attend school

Mona

Hello, my 14 year old son is currently being assessed for Autism/Aspergers but for the last few months has been refusing to attend school regularly- does anyone have any strategies for ensuring he goes to school? Grateful for some much needed advice.

  • Hi, mainstream school can be v difficult for autistic children + also they're going thru puberty.  I agree with the previous poster in that the school may not be meeting your son's needs.  There are lots of posts you can refer to relating to problems at school so have a look if you haven't already.  Do you think the school understand about how autism affects your son, do they have any good quality training in autism?
