Today I got confirmation my son was to be in a school with classes under 20 children. This is bitter sweet as from year 2 at school we have known he was different he is now 11. Today we saw a specialist school for asd Edward has asd.
I looked around to see one couple both in glasses, one lady with her parents, one couple with two children a older girl and a boy the boy you could tell he was the reason they were looking around. Myself my mum Edward my son and Angelica my daughter. We looked around classrooms 12 to a class all looked well. We went into the library and as the lady showing us around was talking she was looking at Edward could she see he was asd? I thought no you can’t tell by looking at him she can’t possibly know. But this kept happening she could tell and I can’t notice it I can’t believe it’s that obvious I began to sweat everything in my body stopping the tears from rolling down my face. I dropped to the back of the crowd of parents I just wanted to leave scream why??? Will Edward go to uni will he have a career all she mentioned was collage why not uni will Edward be able to have a successful career??? At the end we all sat around a table and the lady with glasses asked what are your sanctions for bad behaviour? The lady replied if the behaviour is a direct result of the asd they can’t punish but try to teach another way.
My body filled with anger my son has been punished since year 2 in school because he was different.
I’m now at home I’m not sure how to feel Edward is helping Angelica 8 to do a poster on the digestive system for school Edwards not at school ATM until we find the right place I’m refusing to send him. Are all parents blind to disability? I know his different I just can see it by looking at him.
