I have a 3 year old girl with ASD. She has been going to a local sports class with me in the parent and toddler sessions but she is of an age where she should be going to the next class, where a parent doesn't attend. She had her first class without me recently and one of her friends was joining the class too. At the end of the class, the organiser advised me my DD hadn't been following the instructions well and wasn't answering to her name. I spoke to the organiser and explained about the ASD and that my DD would probably need longer to settle as she has will learn from observing the other children rather than understanding the instructions. The woman was fairly unsympathetic saying that they can't accommodate her and don't have the resources to give her extra support. My DD loves this class and is so excited to go with her friend but she can only go one more time and if it doesn't work out, she can't go anymore. She isn't wild - she might just go off track and do her own thing sometimes or be late to do what she is supposed to be doing until she sees what the others are doing. The problem I think is that the kids are supposed to stay in their specific part of a circuit and rotate, and my DD doesn't understand this and will move round from one activity to another (it's on equipment) The organiser claims it's a H&S issue. Having done the class with my DD, I find this very OTT. She might be distracted/ go of course but the equipment is for toddlers and there are lots of young girls assisting the class leader. I feel very upset that at 3, my DD is going to miss out on activities with her peers due to having ASD. I did try to explain all of this to the woman but she was pretty blunt that they won't help. Just looking for thoughts really and whether other parents have had these types of issues? And any resources to help support my DD with following instructions - anyone know of anything useful? There's so much out there it's hard to know where to start/ separate the quackery from proper advice. Thank you!
