My dd is 11 and has a diagnosis of autism but the peadiatrician also thinks she has adhd and wants to test for that.
She has been home educated since year 1 and we are going to meet the headteacher and senco of the secondary school she has been offered tomorrow.
I have no idea at all how she will respond even to the meeting let alone school but i get the feeling they expect me to have sone ideas on how best to start her off at the school.
I was hoping if i just list some of her behaviour over the last weekend people could just tell me if this is typical for a misbehaving 11 year old or if its a problem because i truly have no idea any more.
Some examples
- We go on a train and in the lift she stands really close to a strange woman and stares right in her face - i literally had to drag her away.
- We heard our younger daughter screaming and dd has just randomly been scratching her.
- In gymnastics she kept laughing very very loudly and was told she would have to leave if she kept on doing it.
There a lots of other issues obviously but im trying to think if ones that may be relevant to school. - she has never been able to complete work alone she needs someone to walk her through every step. I am just so confused what to expect from the school o really dont have any experience of sencos schools or anything else and i feel a little out of my depth.
Are there any other things i should mention?
