Hi this is Dad here not Mum, looking for some advice / support / comfort as we start to home educate our youngest who has beeb gradually dropping out from school over the last 18 months. Sorry for long note but it feels like I need to share our story.
She, like me, has asperger and adhd so noise is a problem. She also feels isolated from the pupils and teachers.and because she has got behind in most lessons, now it is leading into a problem with just over 18 months to go until gcses. She is crying not wanting to go into school and hiding, sometimes not turning up to lessons.
I suffered the same thing at the same age at school.and wished somebody had rescued me - so I am rescuing her.
So we've taken her out of school as first step. Ive met with head of year and explained everything and I have got her private tutors for Monday to Thursday. This is Day 2 and all that seems to be going well so far.
Problem now is (looking forwards) how to socialise her - is there anything that either mumsnet or other sites offer as some form of meetup potentially once a week / month to keep her connected. Saturdays may be better because of logistics, not really sure what Im asking for or if anything exists but reaching out for your kind help.
