DS is my eldest, he's 3 weeks in (and still has another week of hall days to go).

First 3 mornings were OK but it's been all downhill from there and I can't see it getting better any time soon. He's being assessed for autism. I met with the school SENCO in the summer, she seemed fantastic. I spent the summer smugly telling friends and family how supportive the school had been and how I was sure DS would be just fine.

How wrong I was. The class teacher didn't read any of the reports so nothing was put in place. The SENCO has now gone on maternity leave. The paediatric and SALT reports have gone missing. It's been a complete disaster. DS' behaviour is awful both in and out of school. He refuses to even touch the reading books coming home from school (he loves his stories and will ask people to read to him all the time). I'm completely ignoring the rest of the homework.

I loved school as a child and I was so excited for him. He's so keen to learn. Now I hate the thought of it. Obviously I'm trying to be positive for him, but inside all I keep thinking is "we've got 14 more years of this..."

Someone tell me it might get better!

Hi folks,

We're just sending this over to SN education at the OP's request.
