My son has just been diagnosed as having mild-moderate autism.
He is in main stream education and although he "copes" he doesn't reach his potential due to his issues.
It is highly unlikely he will get a statement as he doesn't exhibit behavioural issues (At least not at school anyway )
Even though he is only in year 5 we have been advised by his head teacher and psychiatrist to look round the secondary schools now to get an idea of what they can offer him. But I dont know what I am looking for or what to ask!!
Has anyone got any thoughts or suggestions?
Many thanks in advance. I am also going to put this in the special needs section.
