He has been extremely worried and anxious about going back and stressed about the work and the new norm. It took him ages to go out during lockdown. He's worked himself up so much over this. He's only in year 8 so basically feels like he is starting back again but even worse as he feels theres more expentation. He's just messaged me saying he hates it, he's so stressed and confused with everything 😢. What do I do? He's a very sensitive boy who always tries his best but idlf he finds it hard he really struggles and stresses himself out to the point he has a complete melt down. If a teacher tells him off or if he gets something wrong he can't cope. And now he can't cope. Going back to school. Please can someone advise me?

Oh bless him. He sounds very like I was at school and I was later diagnosed with autism so am wondering if that could be the case for him?
