Right, so DS is 12. He has ASD, he's just started secondary school. We've had a few issues and he's not finding it easy, I contacted his keyworker a few times and she's told me, in no uncertain terms, to step back as DS needs to become more independent. So I've taken that on board and have stepped back. DS is finding it hard but I'm thinking 'school know best'
Before this happened though, I applied for a job at DS's school as admin assistant. I applied for it because it's close to my house and it fits in with my kids. I've been at SAHM since he's was born, not always through choice but circumstances, childcare was expensive, my previous job was shifts and dh worked away a lot. I had no support, still don't, and it's hard and lonely. I had a breakdown four years ago. Anyway, I've got an interview for this job next week. Totally out of the blue, i have absolutely no confidence and I'm scared. I'm worried I'd be an embarrassment to DS or that he'd cling to me. I don't want to interfere with him and I'm worried he may be bullied if I was there, he's been badly bullied in the past because of his autism. Maybe his keyworker is right, I'm sure she doesnt know about this interview and would think it a bad idea?
I've seen a college course I'm interested in, to train as a TA, maybe I could work with kids like my DS, but just not at his school?
