FAO teens/adults here with ASD ..

What type of school did you attend ie; mainstream, support unit or special school? AND looking back, did you feel it was the correct setting for you? Im having to make a massive decision regarding 12yr old daughters education after the summer and Im eager to hear how it has affected you all. Thanx in advance :)  x

  • Academicaly she isn't good, but her mental health is more important to me than academics. She presents herself as a bright girl but everything she does/says is copied and thats very deceiving. She will talk constantly about her drama, things that are happening in her life at the time and thats all. Question her about anything else and she doesnt have the understanding. She is very comfortable around other special children, I think its because she doesnt feel the peer pressure and can relate to them more ? x
