Hello,
my 10 Yo daughter was diagnosed in December, when I asked doctors what happens next they said go to National autistic society for advice.
I’ve spent time looking through the website but I’m a bit over whelmed and not sure where to go and what to do.
She’s very behind in school in reading, writing and spelling. Others she seems to be ok enough to get through ( so they say, but it took till year five for them to tell me how behind she was in anything)
she suffers with anxiety esp with school. She masks well at school but does let’s it all out when home.
her ADOS assessment went well for her to get the diagnosis, they said she was very young and not where you would usually see a 10 year old. I haven’t had the full report yet, hopefully won’t be too long.
i have a meeting booked it with SENco at school on 20th to ask about EHCP but have been told by the school she won’t get one, the doctor said she should.
I really don’t know what my next step is for my daughter. And I’m so worried about senior school as that’s the next big change and step, what school, transport (I don’t drive)
If anyone can offer help of advice I would be very great full
we live in Kent x
many thanks
