My SDS has just transferred to mainstream high school and it's a disaster. All the worse behaviours and self hatred/harming have come out to play. He's being really well looked after, school are communicating with us well and he has good support but I can't see how it will improve. He seems determined to get thrown out. He was only diagnosed in the summer so it's all been CAMHS before that and not knowing what we were dealing with. It is impacting on his sister who attends the same school. Please someone tell me that it can get better, and any hints as to how would be gratefully recieved.

Do feel for you. Am having sinmilar difficulties. As a teacher myself, I know only too well the impact of this behaviour on everyone, including the distressed child doing it. Goodness knows what the answer is from a parent's point of view. I have no idea what to do either. As a professional, I have suggestions, but as a parent, I am at a loss. Silly eh?
