My son is due to start high school next year and we are applying for support as he has severe dyslexia. School also suspected asd- but after an initial appointment with the paediatric team they are not assessing him any further. We really want him to go to a school that will be able to give him the most support for his learning and we don’t even know yet if he will be offered a place in the enhance learning unit. One of our big concerns is his friendships - his best friend (he really only has one close friend) will not be attending the school with the support base and I already feel bad that he might not be with him. I know they often say they meet new friends when they move on but he does struggle with this too. We have started to talk to him about the possibility of him not being with his bestie and he is so negative about this. It is so hard we just want to get it right for him.
