    Hi WELCOME >:D<<'> its great you have found this site especially as your son is in transition to high school, my son is 11 too, weve come to realise that mainstream secondary will be too much and wont meet his needs so were going throw the process of a specialist school, J has severe dyslexia too and it really Knocks his confidence, but he is really trying hard, let us know how the contact with the secondary school goes, is he recieving any SEN support especially for his dyslexia.

     

    Anyway a nice warm welcome.

    Thank you for your reply - I too am worrying that he may not cope with mainstream school - I was hoping that as his older sister is already there this might make him feel more comfortable - but I dont think its helping - also my 13 year old daughter is on their gifted and talented register and in the top 2% in the UK for maths and english - all the tutors at her school have said when they found out her brother was coming up, is, is he anything like Bryony? to which I always reply that Max has special educational needs and every child is an individual so theres no reason he should be like her anyway. I get most annoyed when they say that. We have actually got a specialist school for AS and autism only about 6 miles away from us, so this maybe an option going forward.

    Welcome to the site Fran. I have a 14 year old son who has ASD, high levels of anxiety and mild learning disability. I look forward to chatting with you.

     

    PS-A tip I would suggest when moving up to a bigger school is make sure you have lots of transition visits and support.

     

    Yes, thank you, I have had this suggested to me by a friend I have who is a SENCO teacher in a school in a differnet area - she says ask for extra visits in addition to the usualy two days intro he will get...Max has severe dyslexia and he is very shy and gets easily intimidated and overwhelmed by new situations.

     

    Thank you all for your replies!

    Hello

    I have just stumbled across this great forum....I have 3 Children, Bryony 13, Max 11 and Georgia 9. I have recently found out that Max has AS. Struggling a bit not knowing what to do for the best as he starts Senior School in September.

     

    Would be lovely to meet other parents with the same problems and Im sure it wont take long judging by all the lovely replies I have already read on this forum!

     

    I belong to a forum for my daughter Georgia who is 9 as she has Alopecia - last year she had 5 large bald patches but thankfully at the moment she has full regrowth, so I am used to helping people on that forum and now feel like a bit of a fish out of water here!

     

    Thanks for listening!
