Hello I am new to these forum discussions but could you some advice. Brief history, I have no official diagnosis for my daughter but previously CAMHS have advised me it's thought to be aspergers however it is mild. They have been helpful in the past but could do no more unless i wanted to take the route of an official diagnosis. I am loathe to do this at this stage as she is still young and like i have said previously it is mild. I Have had problems all through playgroup and school with making friends, bullying ect. School have been as supportive as they can be but M finding it really hard. Recently though on top of everything, school are learning about World War 2 and in particular the evacuees. This has upset M considerably I have had to pick her up from school hysterical that this may happen to her that she may be taken from me. The consequences are that she won't let me out of her sight, is up at all hours worrying, (she doesn't sleep well at the best of times) and is even more stressed about going to school they have had to prise her off me crying. It is so upsetting ,I don't want to subject her to this every day. The school has more things planned regarding the evacuees, a fun day where the children dress up in 1940's clothes and get 'evacuated' to the hall for games and a picnic. The thought of this terrifies M and I am thinking of pulling her from school that day. Our school is small (50children in total) I thought this would be ideal for M now I am wondering if I should be looking at a bigger school, with a bigger mix of children and perhaps more SEN knowledge? Is this common? We have to be so careful with what we watch on the television even if it meant to be for children that she will find something upsetting and then is unable to rationalise it, we then have hysterics.
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated as I just want to do what is best for her but not sure what that is. :-(
