Transition and Leaving School

My son finished year 2 of school this week. He took it pretty well. The teacher made it easier for him by helping him create a transition book, with pictures of his new teacher and classroom to help him get used to the idea of change.

His big brother finished primary school and this was harder for my son to cope with, as they go to the same school.  He got so upset and he couldn't deal with the fact that his big brother would be going to a different school in September. He loves his brother and that is going to be hard for him when he goes back without him.

Life goes on, and whilst most of us find it relatively easy to adapt to change, it can be really tough on autistic kids.

We have been at our new house over a month and he still thinks that at some point we are going to return to the old one....
