Are you facing challenges related to your autistic child or young person’s education?
Here at AWARE we offer a lot of support related to schooling issues. We have a standalone, member-only education discussion group on Facebook where you can post any questions you have for other members plus our knowledgeable staff to answer. If we or our members can’t give you any pointers, we can usually signpost you to an external service.
We also have a wealth of Zoom session recordings related to education in the member-only section of our website plus live Zoom sessions you can attend.
If you prefer reading, we also have education-related help guides, again just for our members.
Join here if you are not already an AWARE member, or – if you are – log on to our member-only section here.
Our 8 year daughter is really struggling with the thought of going back to school. She has no friends due to her inability to maintain friendships due to being unkind/oblivious to others feelings. She struggles at social times in breaks at school and often finds herself in trouble. Any advise around how to manage these situations? Have any of yours schools implemented anything that has helped such situations?
Hi Victoria, I am so sorry for the delay in replying to you – we are a small charity and run on a skeleton staff over summer so the website messages often don’t get picked up! Have you posted in our closed Facebook education group about this; this may be your best bet. There are also 100s of similar previous posts on there that may have lots of useful info for you.
