DS1 (aspie, selectively mute) started secondary 10 days ago. The school seemed to be helpful - put him with best match form tutor, with friends from primary, staff briefed, extra transition day etc...but you never know if its all mouth and no trousers.
I know it's early days but aside from some issues in one subject who are doing a heavily philosophical / inferential piece of work that he finds exceptionally hard, he's doing well. The SENCO rang to say he'd struggled to go into one lesson and was he okay, then the head of year 7 rang to say they've noticed some behaviours at break and lunch and weren't sure if he was unhappy - wandering around alone, lying on a bench - but DS does tend to zone out of social contact and he seems perfectly happy there, which I said, and she said 'My instinct was that he was not distressed and that it was just him, everyone wants him to be happy, would it help if I wrote him a series of cards of things he can do at lunch if he has nothing to do?' - she also took him to the lunch club so he could see where it is. I am so delighted that they seem to actually care and be proactive...very different from his primary who only ever did what I demanded and never offered anything!
Funny add-on, I talked to him about this lunchtimes thing and he said 'I like to stand and spin', I said 'Don't do that for too long or people will think you're peculiar' and he said 'I don't do it for too long, I do it for just the right amount of time' 
How is everyone's new school year going?
