I went to DS end of school concert today, and 5 minutes I ended up taking him out as he was crying, shaking and very scared.

He has SEN and austism and i think it was to do with the large amount of parents that came to watch.

this is the first time he has ever acted like this and more shocking its the first time i have heard him cry out of frustration.

Did it do the right thing in taking him out.

You absolutely did the right thing, don't feel bad.

Ds had a similar thing with the choir singing last week, he was getting distressed and crying to come home, although parents were not invited. Luckily his 1:1 took him outside to calm down.

yes you did the right thing. Open days, plays and sports days are a no no here due to far touch anxiety.

DS SN has hit me hard.

Every one tells me the older he get the worse he will get. This so far has been proving to be right.

I felt so sorry for him, he has not wanted to go to school the last few weeks and he is getting more angry and it seems all that been put in place for him is falling apart.

i could do with a glass of wine, but i am driving 6:30 in the morning

Im not sure that is totally right about getting older = worse. Possibly things just change, new environments, growing up, maybe more demands, so difficulties might become more obvious.

Have a glass of wine, put your feet up. Tomorrow is another day, you can then focus of the falling apart support and what you can do about that for the start of the new term in September.

He is 7, i am dreading september.

the teachers in his current and new school have been fantastic, taking him over often and showing him his new classroom and spending time with his new teacher. His current school is still working hard to get him funding that he will need as there is no TA in his new school.

I am very lucky with his current school, MrsDeVere I bet that has been very hard on you.

Well i think i am going to drink this wine and then start sorting this house out and perhaps eat something lol.

New school, new teacher, that is a lot of changes for him and to have to return to this after such a long break. End of term and start of term it is common for ASD children to find difficult.

There is lots both you and school can do to help make the transition easier for him. The photos are a great idea.

Im sure the new school wouldn't mind giving you some ideas about what kind of structure they will using that you can carry over to home too.
