Hi There, my son has just discovered he has to return to school a day earlier than expected.
Guessing it's a bit of demand avoidance and/or an autonomy issue as someone's just told him the plan changed?
For me when that kicks in I just need a little time to cool down and process it and realise it's not "what changed" but the fact that it "did change" that I've gone into fight or flight mode over.
Why is starting a day earlier a problem?
Hello NAS95756,
I'm sorry to hear that your son is refusing to go to school one day earlier. The NAS website has a guide on 'Starting or Switching School'. Here is the link: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/transitions/scotland/starting-or-switching-school
All the best,
