Coping with school refusal

Oners

Hi. I am looking for some advice from any parent who experiences school refusal on a daily basis. My son is 10 and has been school-phobic for the last 2 years. We have made a lot of progress in getting more support for him in and out of school but I am looking for some strategies for myself. I find the constant shadow that school casts over our lives incredibly draining and I would like to know what other parents do to cope. Thanks.

    Hi Oners,

    Have you read Tony Attwood's Complete Guide to Aspergers? As an adult with the syndrome I can vouch for the fact that he describes the syndrome in a very accessible way with lots of quotes from sufferers that may help you understand the problem from your son's point of view.
