Seconding Fox Project. They are brilliant! Can trap if in a garden. Think KK right about RSPCA. HP

Can you ask GP or Senco to refer to Sunshine House. You are entitled to a second opinion I'm sure. Interesting that you say referral was refused 'suggesting his symptoms aren't bad enough.' 'Mild autism' IMO more closely describes how the viewer perceives the person as behaving differently ie how obvious to them the person's asd is - inadvertently belittling and undermining an asd person's experiences. Also means asd can remain 'hidden' and harder/ take longer to diagnose and the effect on the individual unrecognised. Schools sometimes overlook it until it obviously causes them a problem in 'disruptive' behaviour. Have they tried to determine what s causing the 'disruptive' behaviour? Usually this is a child trying to communicate something - anxiety, frustration, fear etc. Schools may decide to deal with what they see as disruptive behaviour as a behavioural issue and sanction the child - trips to the head a prime example - without medical ammo/ diagnoses unfortunately. His outward anxiety could have a whole range of causes - sensory, social communication, busyness of the environment, a combination .... or something else altogether. So whether or not you end up with a diagnosis of whatever does need exploring and understanding. Worth keeping a diary to log both good and bad and meh days and see if any patterns emerge. Did they tell you why the referral was refused? If your gut instinct is telling you something is going on then go with it. How can they really judge without assessing - what information was sent to those deciding whether to assess? And what feedback were you given as to why they won't assess? I'm assuming you won't want to share here but ask those questions if you haven't already. Glad the senco trying again - will she get your input for the application? You could try contacting Contact a Family or SIAS - both wonderfully supportive and also as already mentioned the NAS (their website full of info too). Like others happy to talk if it would he useful. PM me anytime. HP

HI there, As it says really. Wondering if anyone has feedback on Charter North Dulwich with regards to ASD/Sen provision and their pastoral care? Many thanks HP

Great thread! Comfort re-reading all the Lindsey Davis 'Falco' series. Also the perennial Terry Pratchett. Dickens 'Pickwick Papers' lined up. A joyous read. HP
