Hi! My daughter is 10 and have been referred to Ryegate by our gp. Iv the forms to fill in, it does mentally get you!
I home school her so I have zero support from the usual people.. In mainstream school a teacher would put you in touch with all kinds of help and support. I have found when you home school. That's it. Your on your own. Such a shame. Any suggestions are massively welcomed x -

Hello @Purpleribbon
I hope you don't mind, I saw your comment on an older thread so I've popped it here and moved your discussion to our Autism and Neurodiversity section of the forum to see if anyone else can help
You can always put your postcode into the Home Education section on the GOV Website to see what additional support is out there. The National Autistic Society will also have a lot of information and advice surrounding your daughter's education in relation to her diagnosis.
I also wonder, as you said she is 10 years old. It's really a fantastic age where children start to come into their own. The Autistic Girls Network have this huge list of resources including books for her age range and some resources for teachers. It may be something to interest her and it's sometimes really great for children to see other children like themselves represented.
Also wanted to double check that you are ok? You have a good support system or friends / family around? We are here if you ever need to vent or chat.Hannah - She / Her

Hey @Purpleribbon. Welcome to Scope’s forum. It is great to see you have joined us. A fellow autistic here! Thanks for already finding the courage to reach out to us. I appreciate the courage this can take, especially when you are new and finding things difficult.
You haven’t ‘posted wrong’ at all! And, in fact, there never really is such a thing – we can always move it and edit it if necessary but it's not needed on this occasion. You’ll become more confident with time, hopefully.
You have mentioned your daughter currently being under spectrum assessment. How are you feeling about all of this at the moment? Also, in terms of homeschooling becoming tricky as your daughter is struggling and will not do much, if any, work recently, would you feel comfortable sharing a little with us about what ‘struggling’ looks like?
Hopefully, we can support you with navigating this. We are all here for you and listening to you if you would like to share more with us
