just dont know what to do anymore, my son is 6 and has been diognosed with asd and being assessed 4 adhd too. i feel like i am the only person who can look after my son. school is a lovely little village school with about 36 children in it. but the head who also teaches him , i feel just cant connect with him, all the teachers are over 50 bar 1, even the ta they got for his 1:1 is old. in the past school year they told me they cant cope, can i get him put on drugs, that he needs to go to a special school. but all other professionals involed ie ed pyhsc, pead, all say he should be fine in mainstream school. i started him in cricket club last term as he wanted to do it but head just says all the time we'll seee how he goes, then this term in fact this week as his sister as started school now ive put them into a street dance class and a gymnastics class, yet again the head very unsure about this and is already i feel judging him before he tried it. im fed up of her my son deserves the choice to join after school clubs just as all the other kids. im fed up of the heads attitude. i once even walked out of a meeting with her when she lied in front of a govener after i told him what they were saying about my child. what can i do x i also just got thro the statement process and she asked why i wanted him to stay at her school, but hes got friend there and only this year left before middle school . she seemed to me that she thought she might be rid of him soon why can t she actually seem to like my son x help peeps x

Your son deserves the chance to particpate fully in school life, and that includes after school activities, and the school should support him. That's what inclusion is all about.

But if HT isn't playing, then it's really hard, because they set the tone of the school. To be honest I would be thinking about moving him if they are not welcoming your child. School life is hard enough for children with ADHD/ASD without being in a school that doesn't want them.

It may be a lovely little village school, but it's not really very lovely if they don't want your son, is it?

Have you been in contact with Parent partnership? Because it sounds as if they need retraining.
