My DS is 10. He will be 11 in October and is going into year 6.
He has a dx of ASD (Aspergers) and does not have a statement. He is academically able, far outstrips a lot of his class and thus the party line was that he didn't need a statement.
However, I am now noticing that the emotional/maturity gap is widening between him and his peers and his outbursts are getting bigger and more frequent as he struggles with change, noise, people etc.
He will be transferring to secondary school in September 2016 and I am already worried.
The school we have chosen is small with a very caring ethos and a great attitude towards SN. They have a student support centre and I already know DS will be given an exit card and support in 'noisy' lessons like drama and music.
BUT I think he needs extra support.
The SENCO at his primary school says he is unlikely to get an EHCP but she would say that wouldn't she as that is the party line!
I am thinking I need to apply myself as I know it will take ages! I know he will need extra support in things like Science where his unpredictability will be a safety issue. I jsut need to get on with it don't I?
