My daughter is a twin (she has autism and her sister doesn’t) she started senior school in September. The first few months she went okay but then she started suffering with very bad suicidal thoughts and was constantly battling with feeling ‘abnormal’
She has missed a lot of time at school but will not communicate, ask questions, be in a group etc so now we have tried her going 9-12 in the well-being department.
Where she will not speak or ask for anything they just leave her in a room as obviously there is no one to sit 1-1 with her.
we are currently in the process of hopefully getting an EHCP but in the meantime it’s as and when I can get her in as she just refuses and shuts down, won’t get dressed, won’t even get out of bed some days and will just have a serious meltdown if I try and force it which can lead to her becoming very aggressive.
Her twin sister who is obviously in the same school has developed a hate for me because she sees it as I am letting her sister not go to school but making her go which is causing so much upset every morning. It’s just an awful situation at the moment.
Any advice on how to deal with the school situation? Any suggestions on how to deal with it etc really would be much appreciated.
I don’t know who to turn to because no one seems to understand just how hard it is :(
