DS has AS. Really struggling with school since September, I've posted a few times about it. I've basically had to drag him in every day for months.
Friday was the school Christmas dinner, he totally freaked out, wouldn't get out of bed, wouldn't eat his breakfast and was adamant he couldn't go in, it would be too noisy, too different. He was very distressed so DH said he'd work from home and he could stay off.
He's now insisting he's not going back till after Christmas. They have a week of Christmas activities planned, carol service (which he's said he'll just run off on the way to church), parties, special assemblies and lots of films to watch. All great fun for NT kids but total anxiety inducing for a child who likes routine and calm.
AIBU to just keep him off? My mum says I shouldn't but I feel I've dragged him in every day since September and this is causing him so much stress. He's not going to miss too much I'm sure.
If I do Keep him off what do I say?
We have a meeting with senco this week to go through the support they put in place in September.
