Transitioning child from special needs nursery to mainstream school ASD unit

Hi everyone,

Our son was diagnosed with ASD 2 weeks ago and will be moving to an ASD unit in a mainstream school in September.

We're just wondering how other parents who have had a similar move have found the transition, how they managed the transition with their child, what the school did to help the transition, and how their child coped with it?

Our son doesnt like new clothes, so getting him to wear a school uniform will be fun!

Any advice or experiences that can be passed on would be great!

Thanks!
