[reposting my thread from SN children]
I've been posting here for a while about DD9 who is ASC and has been refusing school violently for years. She's been so unhappy and despite the amazing support of our school, who have bent over backwards to adapt for her, its clear that MS school is not the right environment.
After a two hour violent panic attack that lasted until 3am, my husband finally said he realised that we couldn't go on like this, and he agreed that taking her out of school was the only - and best - option available to us. I cried with relief right there, I honestly fell on the floor in tears.
We're going to EHE with out going through the ENCHA. That's a fight I don't have in me. There're no suitable options that she would qualify for nearby.
I just wanted to share this moment with this little MN community I've built up in the last few months. I've been on my knees, life has been so so hard, and this really feels like a new chapter. It will be hard for different reasons, but it's what's right for DD and for us.
Thank you MNers for all your help and support on previous posts! It's really helped us make this decision. I have felt so supported here!
I'm excited for this next step, with the awesome support of MN x
