School and social issues

NAS73749

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.

    I am new to this group and have a 12 year old daughter recently diagnosed. My daughter gets completely exhausted by school and misses a lot. The senco is excellent and works closely with me but its hard to know how to make it work. We will now try a reduced timetable where she either goes in a bit later or takes an hour break at school. What makes it hard is that one can have a good week  and you think youve got it sorted and then the next week it just doesn't work. Your city council should have a version of https://contact.org.uk/ who help you talk with the school to get the changes needed.
