Secondary school

Hiya.I'mnew to all this.My asd son is 10.Due to start secondary in 12months and it terrifies me.We had chosen a school for him but he is adamant he doesnot want to go there and wants to go to the school the rest of his class are going to.He has a statement for 17.5 hours per week.Its 12 minths away and i am already not sleeping,feeling physically sick at the though.Have others felt this way? How have your children got on in secondary?? Good and bad replies welcome.Thankyou in advance x

  • Our 11 yr old autistic son as just started secondary school, he has a SEN statement, the school have support for our son but he does have a habbit of running away from school and climbing high up anything whilst in school when his anxiety levels are high, we have a meeting with the school tomorrow regarding issues of safety, one of his support teachers told us today they dont have time to give our son 100% attention because other children need there help too but it clearly states in his statement that he needs one to one tuition whislt in school, we feel they are on the verge of after 2 weeks telling us that he is not at the best place for his education, as anyone had these problems and any possible help or advice it would be appreciated.
