My eldest is going to secondary school in september and I was after any tips to help the process??

He has ASD which is going to cause a lot of problems for him, especially socially, so I want to try to reduce any extra embarrassment for him?

For starters, what do they take their packed lunch in these days?? He is going for lunch there next week and I'm sure you don't have your lunch in a 'Kids' lunchbox. Iv been watching the boys walking to and fro (not in a creepy way!) they seem to all have the same kind of back packs so that's ok.... uniform is very strict so there aren't any deviants with that. What about pe bag? Do they still need pencil cases??

I think they have a box but I'm the same, Would want it insulated but at the same time I don't want to make him an already easy target for kids to pick on him!

Some kind of plain Tupperware tub or plain zip bag would be fine. If lunch isn't till late, they might eat their sandwiches at break time.

Content of lunchbox tends to be sandwiches, crisps, fruit if you're lucky.

At my school lots of kids buy a slice of pizza or a pretzel from the canteen at break even if they have packed lunch so that might be something to consider.
