My middle son is Autistic.Knew there was something wrong from an early age but didnt get a diagnosis till 10.He was a "naughty "child at school ,nursery till they learnt this.Seen every doc specialist etc the NHS had to offer before this as well.Had a plan a year in advance for the transition to senior school and all went well for a month until it got to much for him and was suspended.We had said all along main stream wasnt for him but hey what did we know.So he spent most of the next year doing 2hrs a day in asick and naughty kid school unit.Then essex county council saidthere was no where for him in essex and said he would have to board.We got sent to look at 2 schools in Kent,1 in w sussex and 1 next to Rutland waters.All turned him down.Now he goes to a small private school bassed in 2 sites near Colchester and Sudbury.He still has the odd moment as will have for life but after missing so much school got told hes very clever and will walk his GCSES.They are also pushing him towards computers for his rest of the life job as he excels at this.Mate its hard work,you have to fight and fight and fight.We got turned down for 3 statements and got the 4th.Families in focus are superb for advice and will help you fill in all the forms and what you are entitled too.Sorry if ive gone on a bit.Good luck [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]
