Hi Trekster We're in Herefordshire. He is high functioning which means, in my experience, he doesn't quite fit in with groups for special needs or with his mainstream friends. Mainstream are friendly to him at school but that's where it ends - as the summer holidays have shown with social things going on and no invites. Looking on the Herefordshire Council website for provision for SEN - He doesn't want a "buddy" and one group we tried "Marches Family Network" he asked me afterwards why we had gone with them when he wasn't like any of them ......see my problem! In the meantime he plays with his trains in the loft and goes on his tablet, he seems very happy with this arrangement while I just worry he has very limited social life. Thanks for listening

Hi Mr McKinley Thanks for your help. With no routine, obsessions and repetitiveness become a real issue plus lack of things to do and lack of friendships. Luckily he goes to a community farm one day a week. I'm hoping things will be easier once he turns 18 and comes under a different funding umbrella?

Hello I have a 15 year old son with Asperger's and scoliosis. I'm just wondering how everyone else finds the long summer holidays with a child with SEN and out of routine?! Sophie
