Extra time. Primary school

Brooke1

Hello,

i was wondering if anyone can help me. My daughter is 9years old and been diagnosed with Autism, anxiety and ocd disorder and chronic tic disorder (possibly Tourette's) mainly all vocal tics. she is currently on medication for her anxiety. Tests and times tables and exams totally stress her out which then triggers her vocal tics even more so. I am trying to find out if she would be entitled for extra time for these tests/exams. If anyone knows I would be truly grateful and she is a perfectionist and always wants to complete her tests but is begining to struggle.

thank you

    That sounds a lot more positive - it will take a while for her anxiety to fade so you will have to be more sensitive to her moods etc than normal.

    A large number of cases of autism etc are inherited - do you think that you or your partner are also on the spectrum? There is a free test at aspergerstest.net/.../ that you might find revealing. A parent that does not realise that they are on the spectrum can be an unsympathetic parent.
