My 10 yo son is autistic and really worried about an upcoming school trip where he will be 4 hours away from me for 3 nights.
He is very bright, reasonably sociable and has v nice friends and is very involved with school life in general but he can’t cope with play dates, sleepovers or any cross pollination of school and home life.
He also suffers from terrible separation anxiety plus sleep problems .
Would I be unreasonable to rent a nearby Airbnb to collect him and take him back each evening?
He is having full scale panic attacks over this and I know he don’t be able to manage staying over - I had to collect him the last time and that was only a mile from me. But I don’t want him to miss out
would teachers support this or does it seem odd and overbearing?
