autism in mainstream school

chris and carly

hi everyone, first time post as ive never found i needed advice but this has me confused. my daughter is 4 and a half in a mainstream school. she has a statement of educational needs which includes the need for her to have supervised help at all times. when talking to her teacher the other day she mentioned one of her tantrums came from the fact her one to one teacher was helping another student as her class is busy. is this not correct as theoretically this support teacher is my daughters? another question is about attendance, some days it is physically impossible for my daughter to learn, her teacher tells us when she has a 'rage' her words not mine, that she affects the learning of all sfudents and is unteachable herself. this is fair enough but days when my daughter is like this the headteacher advised us to maybe keep her off school. its maybe once a week, if that. now he has told us her attendance is unacceptable and is taking no responsibilty. is a child with a statement 100% obliged in attendance than other children. sorry for the rambles but its reallg affecting us as her teacher seems to be bringing up the name of the local disability school more and more when anyone that meets my girl says they never suspect her to have autism. thank you

    THIS IS MY FIRST TIME AS A MEMBER ON THIS SITE.

    My son was diagonsed with aspergers 2 yrs ago which was a long fight for!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has just turn 11yrs old, he will be starting secondary school this year. At this present time we are getting support from his school and his new secondary school for his transition into his new high school.

    My main worry at the moment is that he feels very lonely and sad mainly because he his getting a lot of teasing in his school from other kids because they are noticing how different he is..

    We our based in Cardiff. My post is to see if anyone knoes any events or clubs where my son can make friends who can understand what he is going through.

    Thankyou
