      hi im a 39yr old mum of three boys age ten seven and four, my eldest has recently been diagnosed with severe autism alongside his dyspraxia, im also in the middle of getting him statemented and have had so many assessments, meetings and appts lately not sure how much more i can do, i now feel the world is a different place and im trying to learn, read, and gauge advice from parents alike. my son is also now refusing to go to his current school which is having a major impact, do i home tutor him until i get the statement or could i just be asking for more stress…this seems to be a whole new world for me at the moment and i didnt expect the impact to be as great as it is, in my heart i think i knew but to be told it and how severe it is was and is difficult to deal with at the mo. thankyou if you read this and all advice etc welcome…cheers guys x

      Hi I do understand how you feel. My son Glen who is now 15 was diagnosed at 7 with severe autism and moderate to severe learning difficulties. It is not an easy time. You do need the statement though, once that is finalised then at least you should get more help. However, I have struggled with the Education authorities for the all of Glen's School life. I do not feel Glen has progressed in the way that I thought he would. When I managed to get Glen into a Special School and specialised in Autism when Glen was 7 I really had a lot of hope that Glen would be helped and he would progress. This hasn't been the case, I only wish now that I had changed Schools 2 or 3 years ago when I had the chance. Anyway, I hope you have better luck than I have had, do keep onto the School, if you are not happy then make them aware of it, let me know how things go for you. Jeanne
