A few people asked me to update on how DS does in his new special school when I posted a few months ago complaining about one of the parents in the EBD school he was in (their child flying kicked mine and he didn't even tell the child no)
I don't know if any of you remember it but some said my severely disabled and autistic child shouldn't be in an EBD school and I said I knew and he was moving to a more conventional special school in September but I was really worried about the transition because of trust issues from what happened in his horrible mainstream.
Anyway, tomorrow is the day he starts, And I feel sick with nerves.
Potty training was a none starter because the medicine didn't work and his paediatrician seems to never bother phoning back, his old TA (now his PA) tells me she lectured the new school about his seizures and told them that only changing him "a couple of times a day" was nowhere near enough and he needs changing every hour.
But I'm still so nervous.
AIBU?
To start a thread because I promised to update

Keep us updated to see how he's doing his first day tomorrow.
Good luck!
I will check back tomorrow 
I started it now because I'll be stressed beyond belief tomorrow and would forget otherwise. But this place has been a fab support to me over the summer
Good luck for tomorrow, I hope you have something nice planned for yourself to keep you occupied.
My daughter has complex health needs and on her first day i was in a right state and convinced myself she wouldn't manage without me. I paced around the house and clock watched until she came home again. It was hell for me but I'm pleased to say she'd had a great time and hadn't missed me at all.
Hope your little one gets on ok. 
Thank you, he seems happy enough he'd be in a right bad mood if he didn't like it so that's good. I had to explain about his seizures in the morning showing that no one had actually read his care plan 
It clearly states on it 'non epileptic seizures' and I told them how they had to make sure he never got even a little bit too hot, but he came out in 21 degrees with his jumper and coat on 
I didn't say anything just swiftly removed them while talking to the TA in such a way that she'd notice and possibly think again tomorrow.
But there'll always be a few teething problems like that and as long as he's happy, and they're nice with him, which seems to be so, I'm happy
And doing homework was quite fun I could get used to that!
In mainstream he had homework that was stuff he couldn't access at all, basically just what the rest of reception was doing, even though he has severe learning disabilities. So I just wrote on them in big red pen 'DS cannot access this work' the homework book was 'lost' the day before ofsted arrived strangely.
And his old school didn't send out homework.
But doing homework that he can access and putting it in his little book bag to send it back to school with him gave me a lovely warm feeling.
Bet that warm feeling goes if I forget to do it with him one week though
