My daughter was recently diagnosed with ASD and then started Year 10. She chose Music as one of her GCSE subjects but is finding it impossible to do. She is pretending to compose by using songs that she knows but knows her teacher won't. I spoke to school about dropping it to give her more time to focus on the other subjects, she took Art which is really coursework heavy. The acting SENCO seemed to think this possible but the Head of Year is not so keen. They have offered some random mornings off timetable instead which is a step but not what she needs. Has anyone had children that dropped a subject at school? Did you have to fight for it? I'm meeting with the SENCO next week so gathering ammunition!
