no sweetie its not like a novel ,your just getting stuff of your chest . well i dont want to be negative but my son was in and out of school untill i managed to get him in special needs school in kirbymoorside .which he managed alot better as there was only 6/8 in a class there were some issues but on the whole he did ok.
the problems came when he left school just like i knew they would, they wanted him to go to scarborough colleage , i said theres no way he would manage but as per i wasnt listened to .
it started of pretty much ok with a course ran for kids with social problems , except for the taxi forgetting to pick him up and one time not turning up to bring him home, i was in a right state and so was he. anything could have happened scarborough has a real big drug problem,
luckly he did have enough sense to stay were he was i waited till 5,30 because he should have been hom e at 5 and i didnt want to be seen as panicking,
then i rang the taxi firm they had no record of needing to pick him up. luckly my husband was of and he drove to the colleage to pick him up .
that meant travis was freaked so wouldnt go the rest of the week. then he went back ,and they closed the course and put him on a full sized course and it all fail apart , his been at home ever since.thats 8 very long years.
i tried to get him in special needs colleage where he could live away from home in surpervised situation and learn how to look after him self .
but although he made several trips there and liked it ,he became ill and needed medical procedure to stretch his gullet which took 18months and me pushing all the way to get him seen
,no body goes from 16 stone to 8stone 10 with there being nothing wrong, but i had a terriable fight, and it was an awful time for travis and me i hated to see him suffer.not being able to eat anything but creamed cheese and yogaurts
and i would have totaly freaked if i had to have it done, by the time he had . and recovered ,the funding had been cut ,and he wasnt given a place, i was so bloody mad , he would have grown up a lot and would have been able to work and lead an independant life .now it looks like he will just be a burden on the state. how is that best for him or the state.
by the way travis is big built and 6ft 8in . now thats a novel .
if i was you i would be searching now for special needs collage for your son , because other wise as soon as he leaves school they will forget about him. my email is . the i in tina is a number 1. tian is my sprirtual name dont no if i told you . if you contact me thru my emails il give you my phone number a chat is some times better. esp if you think your the only one out there struggling . blessings tian x
