School and social issues

Help!! I’m new to this group but really need some advice from people who understand where I’m coming from. My daughter is 13 and struggles like crazy with the social side of school, she has no friends and finds school life very difficult, she is currently getting upset on certain days randomly and won’t go to school because she masks the whole time and then has meltdowns where she can’t cope at home and needs a day off to recover. Especially changes where she doesn’t know how the day will go makes her very anxious and I have to keep her home. School are so unsupportive and don’t help her one bit. Currently in process of changing school or thinking about taking her out completely, any advice would be great.

  • This is the first time I've been on here. We are also struggling. My daughter is 10, school refuse to help or apply for an EHCP because she is so good at masking at school. The stress & anxiety it causes her is exhausting. We are not alone but all struggling to find some help & understanding. I feel like I go round in circles trying to find some help. Keep going for your daughter
