Dd (asd and adhd) is nearly 8. She is currently in a specialist language provision attached to a ms school.
I spoke to the deputy head today about a specialist high school that I had looked at for dd and actually I felt it wasn't right for dd and the DH agreed.
She then went onto say that the school feel I should be looking at the 2 grammar schools for dd and not the language base in the nearby high school as I thought would have been the next step.
Now honest this is not a gloat. It has been a hard struggle and as the DH put it dd has come a long long way since she started at the school when she 3 yrs old.
My family are happy and cannot understand the anxiety I feel. The school have said that although she met the criteria for the language base nearly 5 yrs ago she has made so much progress that in secondary she wouldn't be suitable.
Now the reason I am unsettled is because if she is in a unit then she will be safe and looked after. In the grammar she will have to hold her own much more.
Why am I feeling so down when dd has done so well. I should be happy but instead my stomach is in knots and I feel strange tbh.
