My ds age 9 has Aspergers Syndrome, although he sort of copes at school over the last fews years he has found school stressful, especialy at the beginning of each school new year with the new teacher and surroundings etc. Teachers struggle to get him to stay concentrated and do his work, he then distracts other children and has to go into time out to finish his work or becasue he has got into trouble, I have meetings over the years with the Head and teachers, they all seem to want to help (lip service i think) but then he seems to get ingnored. His teacher now, is young and in a class of 30 children and Im told they have alot of characterss in the class(teachers words), hes just not coping and has asked me if he can be home schooled.
My husband and I are self employed, the 2 of us work together and my Ds comes to work with us in the hols.he has is own Tv and pc there. So it got me thinking maybe Home Ed could work. We can be flexible at work to a degree. So we can do the outdoor stuff too. He struggles with friendship and says he wont miss his class mates. He goes to drama and I would plan for him to have music lessons. Interested if anyone is in a smilar situation.
