So I have a son who is 15 years old. He has autism, asperges and hypermobility. He does have anxiety and doesn't like going out. He is almost 6ft and will have a meltdown if out in crowded places, noisy places or he's in a strange environment. He doesn't like the heat or smells either He is so bright but is really hating school, seems to be struggling there and even though he has an EHCP and the school assure me he's getting the help he's entitled to, I'm not too sure that he is. He still struggles, even in science and maths, which he is a total wizz at! He s getting marked down for not doing the working out in maths, but even though he gets the answers right, he mentally doesn't know HOW he got the answer and can't write it down. School peanalise him for this.... He used to want to be a geologist for years, all through primary school and at the beginning of high school, now he's in year 10 and doesn't know what he wants to do when he's older and says he doesn't want to do anything. He says he doesn't want to go college, doesn't want to go university and doesn't want a job! He constantly wants to go on his xbox and ipad, often is on them both, when I make him come off them he will just sit on the sofa and literally mithers and mithers about how long until he can go back on it. He will read every now and again but he has a set time that he will do that, which is morning and he reads for an hour at night.... I'm just really worried about his future. I feel like I've maybe made a mistake sending him to mainstream high school? There doesn't seem to be any support around me, no where to turn for advice, and I'm really worried about his future.
