I have a 5-year-old little boy who has Asperger's Syndrome (high functioning Austism) and it is breaking my heart to have to send him to school every morning. He asks me to stay home EVERY DAY just before he takes the bus, with his eyes watered with tears. I HAVE to make him go because, as you know, kids need to go to school at this age. He used to go for only a couple of hours (at pre-school) and now he stays there the whole day. I didn't want that to happen, I didn't want him to stay in school the entire day, but his teachers, psychologist, social worker, etc., ALL said it is very important to do that. He is in a special classroom with fewer kids and a teacher and a teacher's aid. I don't know what else to do to make it better for my son. I talk to him all the time and explain why he needs to stay in school. But he is clearly having a hard time understanding WHY mommy makes him suffer like this. Because he is really suffering. He absolutely HATES kindergarten! Can anyone help me?
