We got the results today for DSS and we are gutted.
He applied for an exam entry school and put down 4 other choices.
He didn't get into the exam entry one due to the number of applications (1 in 6 chance so fair enough)
He got his 3rd choice off the other list!
The first choice we put down was for the feeder school from his primary. He doesn't live near there anymore but all of his friends will be going. We assume he didn't get in because of where he lives.
The problem is DSS has extreme social anxiety. Since this application process he has been making himself sick and refusing to eat. He is not dealing with it well at all. We tried to get help but a paediatrician told him to just eat breakfast!
His Mum isn't being listened too and we both suspect ASD.
We are all now terrified of how this is going to affect him.
So what do we do next?
We need to appeal but is there any point if he doesn't live nearby?
Is it worth mentioning his issues even though he hasn't got a diagnosis or will it look like a desperate parent trying to get what they want?
This is all such a minefield.
