SUPPORT AT SCHOOL- MASKING

Linda

Hiya. 

So Im AuDHD and my children are awaiting autism diagnosis.

I'm high masking and my son is high masking. Someone help me understand the school. 

They say they have a good understanding of masking and the detrimental affect it can have. And support based on needs. ....OK great. How can the school support my Son to possibly unmask more? ...there response "we don't see it so can't offer support"

I explained I know you don't. That's why it's called masking but we have discussing this for a year. I have provided alot of information on his needs. 

How can a school say they Will support children who mask, but only if they see it? How can I make them see it. 

I'm so confused. 

Who sets these sort of rules? 

Parents

  • Teachers and those in charge of the schools set these rules, without wishing to sound like a parnoid conspiracy theorist, I think they do it on purpose, everything you say will just be batted back at you, I think it's a form of passive aggression if I'm honest, whatever you say, they will tell you that they're doing everything they can, but it's not their job blah blah blah. I think they stonewall because actually they don't know how to help, don't have resourses to help and don't actually want to help, what they want is for you to shut up and go away. You won't make them see it, because they don't want too.

    I agree with this. You have to really force them to see what's right in front of them. I've spoken to SALT and they have been really supportive so I'm hoping that will make an in road for me.

    I've got in touch with an OT also just to see how I can get a referral to them or how much is private and things.
