DS (6 yo, diagnosed ASD with PDA profile) has been school refusing since the beginning of term (year 2) despite school putting adjustments in place - he’s even currently on a 1hr a day reduced timetable and can’t even manage that. The thought of school makes him so stressed and anxious that I’ve no desire to put him through it and would like to Home Ed.
My problem is engaging with him to learn. He loved reading to me over the summer holiday but point blank refuses to do any now, even Star Wars books (he loves SW). Won’t even hold a pencil to draw/colour let alone write. I read to him alot in the evening as he does love information books. If I let him, he’d spend all day on Minecraft and watching YouTube .
Any ideas about what to do?
