Dd (8) is autistic, probably ADHD, I have another child with severe medical needs, and another who is autistic but absolutely loves school.
8yo has taken 2 hours of coaxing, fighting, telling me she hates me, refusing to eat... you name it, she's tried it, every single day this term to get into school.
I just couldn't do it this morning, I'm absolutely broken, so I've let her have the day off today and she's a different kid, currently voluntarily tidying her room while I sit in peace for a cuppa and is promising she will go in nicely tomorrow.
I know what they are doing in school so we will do some work later on, but, for now I'm guiltily enjoying my cuppa and some silence before I get dd up and do her physio.
Tomorrow will likely be a nightmare again, but a morning off will give me the strength to get through, I hope.
