Daughter found wandering distressed at side of main road

Im in shock, can it really get any worse, i have today recieved a phone call from my daughter very upset i couldnt really understand whatt she was saying so i panicked and jumped in the car and sped off towards school, thank god i did, i found her wandering in a very distressed state down a main road either side of which there are steep drops into thick woods. It would appear that the teacher at school has yet again been shouting at her, not only shouting but this time has allowed another member of the class to openly mock her and done nothing. Cruel act. 

on bringing her home she has settled to bed and is emotionally exhausted, i have contacted school who were not even aware she was not there any more but am still waiting for their official response to all this which will no doubt be a load of lies concocted to cover themselves.

Problem here is she has no formal diagnosis even though every difficulty she has screams autism and she has siblings who are diagnosed, and she is under assesment the school is an early academy and does not want to accept that it may cost them something to help her so refuse to aknowledege the difficulties she has.

I am so angry im shaking, what if a car had hit her? the only reason she was out there in the first place is because they are bloody useless, what on earth are they putting us through this?

I am refusing to take her back now untill they have aknowledged that they are leaving her at a massive disadvantage and thoroughly confused,and it would seem allowing her to be placed in danger, her safety has to come first and it would seem that they cannot guarantee that, no doubt ill have the truancy officer round next and have all that to deal with as well

This is all so wrong and unfair, and im tired of them makimg me out to be a bad mum because i disagree with them.

Im so sorry for ranting, but with other diagnosed children i see no end to it all, no end to the ignorant schools whos only interest are their league table results.

  • Hi all thankyou all for your replies.

    i frankly find education to be a completley inadequate and with very little or no understanding. Teachers and sencos have little to no intention of trying to see things from the point of view of a child with ASC and frankly treat concerns from parents as an annoyance.

    The secretary of state should be embarrased and should pull his finger out of the pie and get it sorted.

    Just to update, i saught legal advice and the Academy recieved a very strongly worded letter, their response to which was for the Senco to immediatley aknowledge the difficulties place my daughter straight onto school action plus and offer a reduced timetable, and call off the truant officer all this when only a fortnight ago they refused to aknowledge anything, and were hell bent on seeing me in court for bad parenting.

    However their forced effort is all too late, i now have a daughter who point blank refuses to return to school and is now home educated, i do fully intend on making them accept responsibility for this and will persue further legal advice

    Since i last posted Camhs has finished their assessment and feel that it is acs it is highly likely we will recieve the diagnosis for her, we are just waiting on confiirmation from the consultant.
