[QUOTE="Star*, post: 379066, member: 4964"] Terry, I know this is probably NOT what you want to read right at this moment - because I have been there so many times in the past with Dude - however; keep these things in your mind regarding this change and it may help you as this process goes forward. 1.) This IS going to happen whether you like it or not. difficult child is done at this school. That's a solid. 2.) IF this school is willing to put NO more effort into working with him this early in the year? WHY would I want to put MY energy into keeping my child there in the first place? See #1. 3.) The most scary thing about any change is that we never know if it's going to be better or worse than where we were. ASSUME it will be better. See #2. Then think - The new school WILL work for my sons needs. 4.) Aspies DON'T transition well. See #1, See #2, See #3. Would it be better to let him stay and fail at a school where they aren't going to help him or talk to a new school about ideas regarding transitioning with fresh enjoyable people that want my son? 5.) Realize that you can't change anything by worrying and imagine your son in the new school in a month, it's wonderful, he's doing well, adapted, being helped and it's the best thing in the world for him and he's enjoying it so much more. Now think back to today? Ask yourself if all that worrying you did changed anything. That answer is no. #1 is fact, #2 is fact, #3 is a reality, #4 is a reality. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
