Gcse English

Portland girl

I have real concerns about ASD children taking GCSE English. The papers that my child brings home all seem to involve 1) "the author feels ....., provide quotes to explain " 2) "the author wrote ...., what does he mean by that ? " 

It seems that ASD children are just set up to fail ? does anyone have experience of appropriate questions set for ASD children ? Different examining body etc ? My child can read fine just doesn't understand other peoples feelings, does that really mean he can't pass his English GCSE ?

  • Hi Longman,

     Thanks for that, It's a consideration, but I'm not sure if he is self-motivated enough for the independant learning options. I will put it to him though.

    Longman, do you know what forum IntenseWorld moved to? I really miss his input and it would be great to stay in touch.

    Kind Regards
