My oldest son is 5 in July and Really struggled to settle in and understand school. He has only been on 1/2 days since the very first day. We're currently undergoing paperwork/meetings to get him into a specialist school but probably not until September 2017, although this has been ongoing since October 2016 we are finally seeing progress on that front.
My question is it's mentally draining me and my wife + we have a 2 year old at home. It's hard with a 'normal' child at home but our oldest has had autism mentioned, although not diagnosed. I work full time and my wife 20 hours a week, what are we actually entitled too? Not primarily financially but support wise??? His current school, which I agree with don't think he can manage full days, he's definitely not independent enough to get his own lunch or sit with his class, he flits around alot, sometimes pushy at playtime, not malicious but he has very basic language and it's not clear sometime what he is saying.
Sorry for a long post but the days seem to be getting tougher. I try my best when he is at home but my 2 year old needs attention too and I can't give my oldest the 1:1 he needs but my youngest, when I try to involve him is too young to understand
