Chapter Two - Infants/Junior School

Chapter Two INFANTS/JUNIOR SCHOOL  I was on tenterhooks while waiting for a decision from the local authorities as to whether Charles would be able to have a place at The Pines, school. The news came on the last day of term and to hear he had been accepted into a special school was such a relief. I’d been to visit the school and felt it would be the best thing for Charles. I didn’t even have to get him there myself; it was arranged he would be picked up and dropped off by mini bus to and from school on a daily basis. What more could I ask!

December 2017 update

I've found it a little hard to adjust to Charles being away from home but he has now  returned home on the 16th December from Portsmouth University for Christmas. I am one happy mom. On the 19th of December he returned back to John Willmott School to receive three achievement awards. In 2018 I will be continuing my blog and will also be involved in a autism coffee morning at John Willmott School  to help other parents.  Merry Christmas to you all. :) A view from the back of his flat in Portsmouth, wow :)

Chapter Six - Sports

Chapter Six -  SPORTS 2007/2008 SWIMMING BATHS From a very early age Charles loved the swimming pool, and showed no fear of water. I did get him goggles and arm bands but he kept taking the arms bands off as they irritated him and he said it stopped him from reaching the bottom of the pool. He got frustrated with me and the school because we couldn’t teach him how to swim in an afternoon. Once the school had taken him for a couple of terms I took him for private swimming lessons with a man who specialised in teaching special needs children to swim. The classes were smaller, calmer and they had more individual time for Charles. He preferred to be beneath the water than on top, which was worrying for me but the tutor was very good with Charles and he made fantastic headway. He managed to swim front crawl, overarm and back stroke, all while he had conversations with himself in the water. He swallowed half the baths, but it never deterred him. He achieved many badges and...
