Hi, I have just joined. My Year 11 daughter was diagnosed ASD in October 2018. Since then her anxiety levels have increased until at the beginning of Year 11 they have increased massively to the point where she no longer attends school and although studying at home she is struggling to focus because of the anxiety around where she will end up.
The school is looking at a possible managed move to a smaller more ASD friendly setting and we do have an EHCP which is currently with school for consult before being finalised.
The school (and possible transfer school) is suggesting we consider her repeating Year 11 to give her the best chance at GCSE and future success.
She was on track to get levels 4 and above in most subjects before the debilitating anxiety hit.
Does anyone have any experience of this as my daughter is not keen and refuses to accept that missing a year of school combined with no revision is most likely to lead to poor results if she sits the GCSEs this year.
Thanks
