I know I'm not. But I wonder who'd judge. Not that I care.

I have travelled for three hours for a trail few days for my SEN child to try out a secondary school. There's no where suitable that wants him in my county.

I'm so upset, can't stand the thought of him boarding. No one in my family understands. My sister is thinking about her life goals and im thinking what better for my child, remaining ilterate properly or boarding. He has the mental age of five. I don't want life goals. I just want my child by my side

Thank you everyone for such kind words. I have cried a few tears now I'm home.

I agree @user97645374895 gcse can be sat at any time.

@Kissingfrogs25 the best outcome I think is that he experiences as close to a normal childhood as he can and keeps in good mental health. Learns to read, write and gets confident in basic maths. Then at some point gets what he needs to get at least a minimum wage job so he has a feeling of self worth and purpose.

Ideally

But even if had all the money in the world, its all out of my control.

He does judo, cubs at home. That would stop but of course he would do new fun things. I'm paying for two tutors from his dla now to try to work on reading. Only just found out that he has double vision from a squint and possibly dyscalculia and dyslexia.

One of the problems of being diagnosed with asd at three. No one wanted to look into his barriers to learning and was written off.

He was asking me today if he will be lonely as a adult or ever get married. I think he is starting to realise life shouldn't be as hard as he finds it.

I though he would never talk at 7. We have already come a long way. The future scares me
