Sending 5 year old daughter to school?

[Anxietyqueen1987]

Do you think it's the right thing to do? My daughter is 5 years old and is Autistic, we also suspect ADHD. She attends a specialist school which is staying open but its not mandatory to send her in. She was ill with a fever just over two weeks ago (Tonsillitis) so has been off school for over two weeks - she and I have been going stir crazy and she has been climbing the walls being stuck in most days (apart from going for walks) Am I an awful mother if I send her in? I really dont know what the right thing to do is?

Hi OP I have one at home as well. He has the option of going to school, but had a fever so we're self isolating for 14 days now but the school did say if we need a break we can send him in for odd days which i may have to take them up on depending on how it's going. Sometimes he responds really well to a different person trying to engage with him whereas he'll be lashing out at me. It's really tough I know, you have my sympathy.
