Its a bit of a strange one for me, because Aus who is 4 in Jan is autistic and its very hard to explain, but he is in his own world alot of the time, so "friends" arent really a factor at the moment

so when he started at pre school he wasnt fazed about leaving me at all, he just bolted off and was running around like a headless chook. But good luck with your party

teehee
I have sorted out primary schools too, because I was proper paranoid about it all, and I am so scared about picking the right one for Austin where I know and feel he will get all the extra support he will need. I have opted for a faith school, even though I am not religious, it is just so quiet and friendly and calm and I think Aus will be looked after the way I want him to be at school, whereas other schools I looked at were so noisy and I would imagine my little man being forgotten about, because even though he is loud and full of beans, because of the communication difficulties he has he doesnt shout or stomp his feet or have a paddy when he doesnt get what he wants, because half the time I dont even know what he wants...... very hard at times. But I had a major panic the other day as I thought I had missed the closing day for admissions applications..... I didnt. silly mummy. The next step for me that I am so very anxious about is going about getting Aus assessed for a Statement of special educational needs, which he would need in school to get any kind of extra support. I'm dreading it, proper dreading it. especially because their dad has disappeared and isnt in contact at all anymore, so I am dealing with it on my own...... I am just going to take it one step at a time and just repeating to myself, got to get the best i can for my little man..........
I've gone right into one!!!! soz!!!
