positive today------ my son got into the aspergers base and will now go fulltime, been to c the base and pleased with it. so fingers crossed this will be the right place for him x x x <'>

thank you suze and annie for support and advice. we are going to the meeting to will be good to have our input. the school is in full support othomas going to specail needs school. at the moment where i live the only suitable school is already 1 child over what they can have and therefore cannot take my son. at last meeting it was decided to apply for funding for a boarding school, however this was turned down on grounds that they think the school has made good progress with him. i am going to appeal the decision (no idea how to do that at mo lol) as my son has improved academically at the school, but his melt downs are much worse and he has 1 to 1 from the moment he gets to school until i pick him up, and still they cannot manage him maybe cahms can help me with that??? yesterday he assaulted a teacher and broke 2 windows the week before he assaulted a teacher and was swearing at every one. does anyone else find fighting the system so frustrating!!!!! anyway feel i've moaned enough today lol sorry x x x x x tanya

my DS has been excluded again in the last 3 weeks he has only had 3 days at school. i keep calling his sen case worker but they just tell me there is a meeting on the 29th feb, to try a arange a schooling package adapted to him. however saw head master yesterday and he said package will be mix and match, sometimes he will be in school sometimes one to one with a teacher and sometimes at a learning centre. i'm really worried as thomas hates change and we normally have huge problems any time things are change. they have a new senco at the school who doesn't seem to know anything about aspergers, on her 1st day she changed DS reward system DS kicked off then got excluded. i want thomas in a special school however seem to be banging my head against a break wall. i'm so worried as he is nearly 11 a i'm not sure how much longer i can cope with him i have contacted CAMHS and they are doing an assesment on tues, however have no idea how they can help, has anyone else delt with CAHMS???? tanya x x x x x x

hi my name is tanya i'm 34 and married to garry. i am the mother of 3 children jaidean 17 jake 14 and thomas 10, jake has ADHD and thomas has aspergers. jake was dx when he was 5 and thomas this year. i have had to give up work as my husband is in the forces and thomas is always being excluded from school, and now bored (until school phones). at present trying to get thomas into a school for aspergers, however proving difficult. jake has calmed down alot and is now a well balanced young man. however thomas keeps getting worse and worse and my older children just want to move out aswell as me lol. i have been reading other post and what a welcomed releif to know there are others in the same boat. i have joined this forum for advice, friendshio and maybe some sanity lol. look forward to chatting and hearing from you all love tanya
