Our wonderful autistic boy is 9yrs old (recently diagnosed) and having a really difficult time at school. He is frequently refusing to go in to school, initially due to his fears around sports and maths, but also he cannot handle large social groups and the noise is just too overwhelming. Mainstream isn't right for him (for many reasons) so we are seriously considering home schooling. Where do i start? Anyone else navigated this and have any tips? All we want is a happy boy who can be himself - he is very happy at home. We live in Hertfordshire.
