Hi, my son has been diagnosed with being on the autistic spectrum. He has learning difficulties but not severe enough to have 'one to one' and he attends mainstream Comprehensive school. He has often shown outbursts of anger and frustration at home as school does'nt understand his difficulties. I have often been to the school and explained how upsetting certain issues are for him, such as speaking out loude in class or sportsdays. But i feel like im talking to myself, they just don't listen.
My son has become so upset, he is begining his 'tests' in class now, he is in year 10 and is presently studying for his G.C.S.E's. It's just the start of a year and half of exams and he's not coping at all. He finds revision frustrating and his attention span is very short. He gets angry and upset and says 'it does'nt register' he ends up throwing the books and swears and punches out. He's never violent towards me, he tends to punch the wall.
Can anyone give me some advice please, we are pretty desperate as he's refusing to go to school and i really want to help him..Are G.C.S.E's compulsory in Wales? Does he have to sit them?
Thankyou so much for listening..
