Dear All

 

Am going into school to deliver letter to head de-registering son from school.

 

My tummy is doing leapfrogs.

 

Wish me luck!

Good Luck.

 

I'm sure that all will go well, it will be one source of stress removed and a chance for you to teach your child what they need most. Everything I've read about home-ed suggests that children on the autistic spectrum do far better being educated at home regardless of their parents qualifications and bacxkground.

 

Let us know how it goes.

Take a deep breath and go for it

 

I am now beginning to see its the best thing we did for our boy.

 

Good luck

Thanks for the encouragement everyone - it really helped.

 

School were fine. They said they thought it was definitely the best option.

 

Now, just the LEA!!!!!!

Hi Barefootwendy, now prepare yourself for the shock by people when they realise you don't have to send your child to school. We are met by so much disbelief from people when they ask why our son is not at school. Especially since our daughter is. Yesterday my son was on CBBC taking part in a school related competition, off air one of the presenters asked if him he was going back this week. His reply was that he does not go to school, the conversation was changed so quickly he did not have a chance to explain he was home educated. They must have just assumed he had been expelled!!! On air the subject of school was completely avoided. We thought it was very funny.

 

Good Luck
