DS is 9, been with us 7 years.
He's amazing but so challenging. For years it was all put down to attachment / trauma / adoption stuff.
Now an asd / adhd diagnosis has been given.
One professional (not an Adoption one) thinks he needs an asd residential schools. Weekly boarding (home for the weekend).
My instant thought is NO. How can I send away a child with his anxiety / attachment / abandonment issues.
Have looked at the schools (online) that are being suggested - and I am really amazed at how nice they look and how much input the children get (therapy, specialist teaching, high ratios, own bedrooms etc)
Has anyone faced this with their adopted child with asd? How did it go?
He seems so young, and I just want to do the right thing by him.
