It's Sunday and my son is already crying about school

My son is autistic and hates school. He says he would rather kill himself than attend school where he feels no one understands him and he doesnt feel "safe". 

I do t know now what to do. When he gets to school he doesnt stay in any lessons. He either tries to run out of school or hide.

  • Hi Lupo,

      My son was also a School refuser and I ended up Home Schooling him at one point. Do you mind me asking, How old is your son and does he have a statement or support at School? Is the School a specailist School or mainstream? Have you spoken to the School about how your son feels and what accommodation could be made to help him feel safe? Is he being bullied?

    Their are many factors to consider. Are you able to give a little more information?

    Regards
