Hi all,
I have an 8 year old son with Aspergers diagnosis, he has recently (last night) discovered about his diagnosis and was very positive about it, he said it explains alot to him as to why hes abit different and why he struggles with certin things. Hes usually very anxious going into school yet this morning he went in very well knowing he was overcoming his anxieties he was very proud of himself.
However...... when i picked him up he was very upset and distressed as the senco had told him NO he doesnt have Autism and she didnt want to hear that again. he explained to her that we'd told him and we watched a programme together the night before and she dismissed him. He came out of school asking why we would lie to him!! i demanded to see her and had a meeting with her and the headteacher to which she apologised as she misunderstood what he had said. i also spoke to her about an incident that happened last week where DS was very distressed when i dropped him off at school that morning he was scared and angry and hid behind a curtain in her classroom and she shouted at him to come out and told him not to dare try this with her.
i am at my wits end, he only started this school 7 weeks ago, she didnt even see him until his 3rd week in the school, he is terrified of her and the only things that have been put in place for him is the things ive told his class teacher he needs, i.e feelings fan, reassurance when he becomes anxious and the t.a meets him at the door to take him into class. she has put nothing at all into place for him, she doesnt seem the slightest bit interested in his needs or emotions.
He has already said he never wants to see her again and hes not going into school tomorrow. i really feel that all our hard work has been crushed by what shes done. i have no faith in her ability to help my son and i really dont know what to do.
thanks or reading Emma x
