DS is 12. He has HFA and is is MS school. He's s very anxious boy, literally cowers in fear, screams with fear etc. He's a kind boy, not at all violent.
He just started secondary school. The school has a good reputation for SEN. He was assigned a keyworker when he started. Since then, it's not been good. He's been wrongly given a detention which resulted in a massive meltdown, some of his peers found his reaction very funny and started to bully him, lots of heckling, piss taking, even videoing him on their phones while making him look stupid then posting it online. (I have reported this and it's been dealt with). I've tried to email his keyworker but she told me to 'take a step back'. Do now we have no dialogue with school at all. The keyworker has been pressuring him to walk into school by himself - I give him a lift as it's on my way with dd is school run. He been having a lot of anxiety about this, not sleeping, crying. Now he's self harming - biting his arms he's regressed, I gave him some money to buy some sweets the other day, he couldn't even go into the shop, floods of tears. He couldn't go to his karate class last night. I was worried about him so I took him the GP today and have got a referral to CAHMS. I have told school about his anxiety and self harming. I told them I thought he may be was having a panic attack. DS came home today and told me the keyworker had told him that's I'm worrying too much and this isn't helping him. She told him he's not having panic attacks - how does she know?
I feel like shit now, am I interfering? Have I made it worse?
