Hi all my daughter is 13 years old, after 4 years has got her diagnosis of aspergers autism, she also has horrendous periods been told probably endometriosis, have appointment with specialist in December, has an mainly a year and half off school due to meltdowns caint cope in mainstream and school have just kept saying it’s anxiety nothing wrong with her and gave her time out, she became very distressed with this and started self harming and no matter how many times I asked school they refused to say anything but anxiety, she now has her diagnosis and is due to start high school in September but already I can see the fear in her and the worry it’s bringing, she’s says she’ll kill herself if I send her to school, we have just been informed cahms will see her for counselling, I have noticed a change in her mood since she’s been away from school, happier, eats better, sleeps better, but had isolated herself and she says she’s very happy in her world at home, she does go out everday wether it’s a walk or shopping or visiting family, I am very very worried about sending her to high school as I can see her going back to self harming again and becoming so depressed, I have wondered if homeschooling would be better for her but am worried it’s wrong thing to do or even how I would ho about it to find the right schooling online for aspergers.
can anyone give me some advice or just help on this as a single mum I just want her to be safe and happy, she’s my ray of sunshine and it’s so hard seeing her go through this at such a young age
