he`s in year 7 and he is struggling! the actual content of class is fine (average ability). Its the noise, teasing.....general hub bub around him!! this week he has a "time out" card so he can go to the SEN / quiet room when he needs it and is trialling some ear defenders to take away the class noise.

Its not working. He isnt recognising when to use these tools, so reaches crying/ crisis point and ends up in tears/ distresses and spending time twiddling his thumbs in SEN room . So hes not getting full lessons......probably puts off the "normal" kids, takes up teachers time in sorting him out.....

I`m thinking of using online school. Anyone elses child with high functioning ASD using this? thinking interhigh, my online school?

And just for the icing on the cake he has this month started wanting to die when he gets worked up! (has a CAMHS appointment coming up). DH is a teacher at his school so the teachers etc are running to him to help sort ds out too. He`s knackered!!

Oh, your poor DS. This doesn't sound fun for any of you.

Not had any experience of online school at all but just wanted to send you all Flowers and maybe Wine for you and DH too, and see if we could bump this for anyone passing.
