My daughter is 11. She has ASD and inattentive ADHD and has just started High School. It has been AWFUL.
She is so sad, crying every evening and morning that she doesn't want to go but has managed to go in and stay all day. She is hating it. The way the uniform feels, how busy it is, other children being mean. The sendco is being great but so far the adaptations are not helping.
It's been 3 days. It's obviously too soon to make any decisions but it's horrendous. It's got me thinking - how long do we leave it before deciding we need to do something else? Half a term? A term? A year?
How bad do things have to get?
Just wondered what others thoughts and experiences are who have considered or have removed children from a school because of unhappiness and it not being the right fit.
