My son is 10 years old, and was diagnosed with Asperger's 2 years ago. Whilst he has always had difficulty with social situations, the past year has been a particularly difficult one with oppositional behaviour with both the teachers and other pupils. He is currently under threat of permanent exclusion and I am told that he cannot receive a statement based on his Asperger's diagnosis. I have also requested an assessment by an Educational Psychologist but am told there is a long wait for this.
There is a serious threat that without a positive intervention, he will be asked to leave the school within the next term.
Has anyone had a similar experience, and do they know where I should look for help or advice in order to circumvent this potentially disastrous situation?
Many thanks
Laura
