Refusing to go to school

NAS85823

My 12 year old daughter is struggling with going to school, she has missed so much time already.

I'm basically begging school foe help but not getting much.  I don't know what to do,  I can't drag her there kicked and screaming as that will not help her at all.  She struggles with social side and friends. I don't know what to do? Where to go for help? She is a very unhappy 12 year old

  • I feel for your daughter. I wouldnt go to school fir my mum. I was about 14. I couldnt explain why. My mum was taken to court and fined 10 pounds! I then went back to school.

    I dont think this can or should be forced. I would like to say give her time, but i kniw she is missing out on her education. Just by chance a 17 year old young lady with ASD started working in a cafe. It is her first job. She was nervouse. She has done brilliantly and is going to be a goid worker at whatever it is she decides to do in her future. She told me when she was 14 she refused to go to school. She was referred to CAMHS and prescribed medication  attends college. Just wanted to share to give you some hope. 

    People should never underestimated the effects of an ASD. They are very real. Go easy on her and yourself x
