Feel a bit sad at how dd ASD has been treated by dance school

My dd 7 has been going to dance school for about 1.5 years, the leader seems nice, she used to run the disabled line dancing group, which I used to adults with disabilities to. At first dd loved it, but her behaviour started to deteriorate and she would not do a full session. I payed for a carer to take her dancing instead, she responded very well and started to do full sessions again and seemed a lot happier.

A few weeks ago the carer told me after she had been dancing that the teacher told her not to bring dd in for a few weeks as they are doing shows, I thought ok there must be competitions going in, or others are doing exams. This week when I called the dance school to enquire when to take dd back to dancing I was told that this sat her dance class that she attends is having a show, which appears I have not been told about and dd app wars to be excluded from.

I feel so hurt, they could have found her a small part and her carer would have been there to support her. Therefore her class have been preparing for a show without her Sad. I have taken tge decision not to send her back, have been recommended a very good dance school by someone who knows of Autistic chikdren who attend it. I phone up and the owner sounds very positive so she will try there.

I just feel so Sad dd was excluded without the dance teacher telling me or contacting me.
