fed up with being told me wanting to delay ds's school entry is more about me wanting to keep him young than him being not ready

He has dwarfism, so he is physically small (and always will be).

His speech is severely delayed.

He is very emotionally immature, still extremely attached to me, prone to violent mood swings, frequently anxious.

He gets tired easily. Due to his short legs he can't walk very far and he falls over all the time.

Yet professionals everywhere keep telling me that he will benefit more from being in school than from having another year at home (plus playgroup/preschool sessions, same as now).

It makes me so MAD, but I feel so powerless!

Thank you for all your replies, I have plenty to think about now, but my head is too full to know what to actually post! Really really value all your thoughts/opinions though!
