Hi all
My sister has a little boy who is 5 in October.
He has autism, he is non verbal with very limited understanding. He is her only child.
He currently splits his time between a mainstream nursery ( attached to a mainstream school) where he has full time 1:1 support and a nursery attached to a sen school.
My sister loves the mainstream nursery and is always singing its praises but is very resentful of the other setting ( which he will go to full time in September) she is critical of every aspect of the school.
She criticises his care, has contacted mps and picks apart every thing they are doing and trying to implement.
The mainstream nursery cannot manage his complex needs so he won't remain there and attend the attached school when he begins reception this year.
The school he will attend specialises in autism and I know other parents of children who attend the school that sing their praises from the rooftops.
My sister is increasingly negative about it.
I think a lot of it is that she wants him to have some "Normality"and maybe on another level there's an element of denial.
( She mentioned him being more capable and advanced than other children there)
I haven't written this thread to judge it's from a place of genuine concern as I don't want my nephew to start the school from a negative standpoint, she is making it very difficult for the staff and I don't want them to see her as a problem parents before he properly starts.
Do you think she will develop an element of acceptance as he goes through the school? Is there anything I can do to help!?
