Many won't understand if they don't have a child with special needs.....
But I do. He's autistic. It's it's time to look at secondary schools for him.
Where we live they aren't many options. He needs to go to a special needs school over mainstream. Everyone agrees - his school now, support worker etc
However....where we live, he won't get a space in the special needs school due to us living 1/2 a mile out of that local council.
In order for him to get a place in the special needs secondary school, we need to move. No questions asked. The spaces are so limited at the school that they prioritise the local children before the ones on the outskirts. That's how it works.
I've looked around this secondary school who have said that yes he should have a place there but due to the school being over subscribed and where we live, he won't get a place.
There are no other schools. I've looked around the mainstream schools here who have said they would do their very best for my son but they probably couldn't accommodate his needs.
We rent. We need to give one months notice.
Dh is my ds step dad. He doesn't want to move. He said he won't move from one house to another for this reason.
I need to move. I need to do what's right for my son. It won't affect anything for dh as far as his life changing. We just need to move 1/2 a mile up the road!
Aibu to move?? I'm just a mum putting her son first.
Please don't suggest alternatives as there really isn't any. We don't move then he goes into mainstream
