DS is 16 and in his first year of A Levels but not really enjoying them. He chose to do A Levels in the sixth form of his school mainly because he didn’t know what else to do and didn’t feel ready to leave school where he feels safe. He has SEN and hates change, has anxiety / panic attacks and has some struggles socially.
He’s almost sure that he doesn’t want to go to uni. DH and I will support him either way but are hoping he chooses not to go as we don’t think he’ll cope. However, he hasn’t a clue what he wants to do next and I’d love some ideas of what jobs other 18 year olds went in to. He has AS Levels starting in 2 weeks but after that we (and school) need to support him getting some of the skills he’s going to need for the workplace. In theory we need to arrange work experience for July and it would be great if he was able to get a part time job but that feels so far away from what he’d be comfortable with.
