My DS is in Year 5 and having a terrible time. He has been on the ASD pathway for over a year now and is being relentlessly picked on at school. He is a really bright kid but is starting to fall behind as he has problems concentrating in the classroom setting and difficulties with intense pain in his hand/wrist whilst writing. We have requested that he be given laptop access but I'm not sure this is always possible. The playground is a minefield for him. I feel that the school isn't able to provide adequate support for him and wonder if he'd be better off learning at home where he's able to focus. He is massively underachieving. I also wonder what support and social interaction is available in the city?
