A really hard week

This week has been incredibly emotional. Not to go too much into details for GI Joe's privacy, but we were thumped on the head with the knowledge that he has not been going as well as we thought he had been. I wish that we had known how tough he was doing it. We have made the decision to home school through distance education. A hard choice and one that GI Joe is not entirely happy about. I have learnt the true impact of bullying on people with ASD, their family and the community in general. It seems we are becoming more and more educated on ASD but perhaps this is not getting passed on to our teens.
