When you are raising a child with Autism, there are so many things you must do and even more decisions that must made. Many of these decisions are far from easy and end up not actually having a right or wrong answer.
One of the biggest battles in regards to raising children with Autism, is easily their education.
Trying to navigate the convoluted educational system is not for the faint of heart. All too often, it’s ill equipped to deal with kids on the Autism Spectrum and parents must literally fight for every last thing their child needs.
I’ve had to make many decisions over the years in regards to my kids education.
Of all those decisions, none have been as difficult as the one I’ve had to make in regards to Gavin.
As of September 22, 2015 – Gavin is officially withdrawn from school as a result of his fragile health, both physical and emotional. It wasn’t an easy decision but one that is absolutely in Gavin’s best interest.
School is not for everyone, never has been. Gavin seems much happier since he doesn’t go to school every day. Good for you for recognizing the amount of stress it was causing.
How is he able to be withdrawn from school prior to his 16th birthday? Won’t that cause issues regarding truancy?
