Have a 5 year old in reception class of a mianstream school. He has sen no diagnosis awaiting panel for asd. He suffers very badly with anxiety. He striggles academicly, socailly and physically. So nearly every aspect of school he finds hard and stressful. Hes never properly settled at school.
The school haven't been to great in helping. They do interventions with him but this leadd into lots of work which is making the situation way worse. He comes home everyday with ay least 5 worksheets hes done and school often ask for things to be done at home which he refuses.
Hes been coming home extremely withdrawn very pale and getting worse as time goes on. He locks himself in the bathroom in a morning screaming i don't want to go i hate it. And when i do finally get him out the house he clings on to the school gates.
I am struggle at the moment as to whats the right thing to do is. Should i be makong him go? Hes been in school a year nearly now and its gotten worse not better as times gone on. I believe hes in the wrong school setting. School say they are posssibly thinking about getting the sen school to assess him next year school say things like that alot and nothing ever comes along.
Tomorrows school sports day which is going to be a nightmare as it will make things worse.
