DS1 is Autistic so I've been through the paediatrician appointments etc with him and he has 1 on 1 support at school.
DS2 (Just turned 3) started in the school nursery on Friday, he goes a total of 3 hours a day and it was his second day today. He has never attended a pre-school or similar setting before starting at the nursery.
When I picked him up today the SENCO who I know very well as DS1 is at the same school asked me what I thought about them referring DS2 to see a paediatrician. I asked why as he is completely different to his brother; has good communication, is extremely confident and plays alongside other children. There reasons were that he gets extremely upset if they pull him away from something he wants to play with and they have noticed his play is repetitive at nursery so they think that he needs 1 on 1 support.
He's been there a total of 6 hours and it's come as quite a shock to me so I may be thinking unreasonably but AIBU to think that considering he has never attended a similar setting before and has been there a total of 6 hours this judgement has come too quickly?
