I have a 7 year old with ASD, SPD, dyspraxia and he's struggling. He has problems transitioning activities, regardless of what they are, so getting dressed to go to the toy shop will be just as hard as getting dressed to go to school, unless he can wear exactly what he wants (very loose clothes and heavy shoes).
Then at school he holds it together and then nearly explodes at pick up and stays wound up till bedtime. He's not hyperactive but he's anxious. He's asked can he not go to school, and tonight we talked about his behaviour after school and he said "maybe I should get a new mummy because I am so bad."
School is being supportive but they expect a lot from him. My instinct is to wrap him up and keep him home but what if the problem is me?
My husband is against home ed, and I'd still be on the school run because he has younger siblings so there would still be the toing and froing. They are happy at school.
I'm at a loss as to what to do to make his life easier!
