My 4 year old son has asd and is due to start school in August.
We tried to get him into school which has a special needs unit but he didn't get in as there were only 10 places.
He has been placed at a mainstream school which has a special needs base so he will get support in the base classroom but will still spend quite a bit of time in the mainstream.
He is a very clever little boy,has a really good understanding of language,uses pecs but he is still non verbal and in nappies.
The last two things are what worries me the most about him being in mainstream,I'm just worried how we will get on if he can't talk
