DS 5 has ASD. He was diagnosed over a year ago at nursery and he ended up going to the mainstream school connected to the nursery. We didn't question this but lately have started to wonder if this was the best decision.
The school have done their best and he has support at the school even while he's still waiting for his statement but since he started Year 1 his behaviour at home has become a lot worse. He's still keen to go to school most of the time but just doesn't seem happy.
I would never have considered HE before but we're also considering moving areas to be near my family and I wouldn't want to put him in a different mainstream school down there. It may be only temporary as there's a special school down in Devon we like the look of but they don't take children until they're 7.
My main worry is the reaction of the school and the complication of moving areas straight after we withdraw him from the school. I don't want it to result in a lot of hassle from the LA.
Any advice would be appreciated.
