annie Report post Posted March 19, 2007 Hi Mrs Fussy, Welcome to the forum . My son is 17 and has Aspergers. He was excluded so many times when he was at school . To be honest, I felt more relieved when he was at home, his stress levels went down and I knew that I wasn't going to be getting 'the phone call'. I don't know if you have heard of IPSEA? They have a helpline, they are very busy, but their advice is invaluable. Below is a link to their Exclusion support sheets. If your son has been excluded, they are worth taking a look at.

baddad Report post Posted March 19, 2007 Hi and welcome! <'> As far as statements go, if the schools started the ball rolling you are off to a good start Often, the school is a barrier rather than a support network because of funding issues, so that's one less mAJOR hurdle you've got to worry about...
