DS started reception at independent school on a substantial bursary as they were very impressed. Since starting he has been displaying loads of autistic traits. I have described the full story in this thread here School have made some effort but not tried all the things I have suggested - have passed on all tips given to me by Ed Psych, SEN Inclusion Team, Speech Therapist etc.
Anyway yesterday the head asked for a word and tells me it's not working out and we need to withdraw him, and send him back when he is ready for school 
. I don't think they've given him long enough to settle, but the decision has been made for me :( I assume it's just the setting which he's finding difficult as he isn't like this at home or preschool. Sure, he can be stubborn but nothing like the teacher is claiming (unless she's blowing up a small incident to make it sound like it had dominated the entire day...)
So with immediate effect we have to get him into a new school 
Found one we like, but no guarantee of a place (although head is happy to accept him). It's a state school so at least it'll be easier to get support and a statement if he needs it. As he's had such a difficult time, I am soooo worried this is going to be another disaster and need to know how I can make his transition a smooth one and help him be happier there. Can anyone give me tips so I get off on the right foot?
