    I am so confused. At the end of the last school year we had a parents evening at Z's school and were told how well she was doing in school. She has a lot of lessons in the SENCO dept. Her maths teacher was apparently really pleased with the progress she was making. All said then WHY when she had some maths homework tonight was she back to 7+5 and 6+9.

    Z is 12 and in year 8, mainstream school and doesn't seem to be progressing at all.

    How do I find out, honestly, what progress (if any) she has made and if there is no progress what do I do??????

    I am so worried as next year is her options year and then she'll be woking towards GCSE's, in which the SENCO reckons she will maybe be able to attain Grade E in her good subjects.

    Lovin this

     

    Some of Z's things are:

     

    Will not tuck in school shirt (Too unconfortable)

    Will not take a shower unless told

    Will not brush teeth without full scale riot

    Doesn't like being touched but will come for a hug at the most inappropriate times (ie-when I'm real busy or on the loo)

    Hates loud noises, suden noises but will constantly bang doors

    Never stops talking about horses, riding etc

    Can't hear me when it's bed-time but can hear a crisp packet rustle from 100yards

    She is like a magpie. We put something down, she picks it up (without us seeing) and whatever it is ends up in her room

    Also hoards like a squirrel

     

     

    The list is endless

    Hi

     

    Z got her full dx age 10/11 and I just sat her down one day after a meltdown(that is once she was calm enough to be sat down) and told her the reason she did things like this were because............

     

    I also told her it was a reason for it happening and not an excuse for it. We went into all the "yes you are different" chit-chat but pointed out that everyone is different in one way or another and what a boring world we would live in if everyone was the same, liking the same things. Tried to keep it light and easy for her to understand and seemed to get some of what I was saying through to her.

    She hasn't really said much about it since but she just kind of shuts these things out of her head. She doesn't quetion things and has never asked "Why?"

     

    Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones in that she doesn't question things but she does say that she just wants to be normal.

     

    Soz for waffling

    Hi JsMum

    It sounds like you've had a truly awful time

    Thankfully you managed to get J authorised leave so hopefully alot of the pressure is off.

     

    Enjoy your break ( That is if you do decide to go away for a few days)

     

    Good Luck with the trib

    . Its like an explosion in a paint factory, with many many barcode-inspired stripy bits too. Every primary colour under the sun, stripy carpet in loads of different colours, RED lights in the cafe area, stripy sofas.

     

    the biggest multi coloured barcode of all plastered across its

    Feeling very sick and quite dizzy just imagining this. It sounds horrendous and definately overbearing

    Oh Karen I really feel for you

    When Z was 5 we were told she had dyspraxia and that was the cause of all her problems but (why is there always a "but") when as she went through school it became more obvious there was more to it than that. It took another 5-6 years of assessments, appointments etc to finaly be told she had ASD,ADHD,Dyspraxia and complex learning difficulties.

    All I can say is hold tight for the long ride down off this coaster. It could be long and bumpy but you will get through this.

     

    Good Luck with everything

    Hi ScienceGeek

     

    Well unless I'm very much mistaken, it is now early september and the end of August has past.

     

    I would get in touch now stating the correspondence you had and that no-one has been in touch yet

     

    Always worth keeping them on their toes

     

    Good Luck

    Are all schools the same?????

    I was told Z was doing well settling in last year (Ha!Ha!) That soon got blown out of the water

    The SENCO told us that Z wasn't to bad as she doesn't sit rocking back and forth drooling :wallbash:

    She hates school, the teachers, the TA's in fact everything to the extent that we often get refusals to even try to go

    They just don't seem to listen :angry:

     

    Do the schools seem to just want the extra funding and aren't bothered about the kids or what?

    Have you got a social worker or anything, the only reason we got help was that I was going to go to the local paper as we were so desperate. The thing is if I call T's bluff he'll probably do it, he has blind rage constantly. The strangling thing was awful, his sister couldn't breathe and she was hysterical, he's also tried to do it to us and his dad. I feel like weeping, or drinking myself to death!

     

    No we don't have a social worker or anything like that

     

    How do you get the help?
