My ds was dx august this year with asd. Lots of things made sense once he was formally diagnosed, but now we are just at the learning stage which I'm sure will be on going, of what to do about certain situations. My ds goes to mainstream school but attends a sen unit attached to the school several times a week.last month he broke his arm which resulted in him having an operation and a full cast. During this time, we have been allowed to use the staff car park as he has a cast on. This has been a huge eye opener to me as before we had to drive around trying to find a space like everyone else. This makes him anxious and stressed as we have to take differant routes to get a space, then it goes without saying that getting him out of the car, holding his hand so he doesn't bolt etc, he actually becomes stressed in the jams around the school. The car park is a completely differant entrance down a quiet slip road. We drive through the barrier , into the car park, happily chatting away. No rush, no panic, the sen teacher mains the gate, so he is allowed like a big boy (he's 8) to walk through the gate and wave goodbye. It's been a revelation that life on a school day could be made calmer by this simple allowance. The sen coordinator said or at least hinted that I could write to the school and ask for it to continue when his cast comes off next week. Do you think it's possible. How should I word the letter? I don't think they appreciate the difficulties involved in just getting my reluctant ds to school.
