Thanks Wendy. He does seem to have settled well. It pleases me so much because there was a time the LEA thought (and tried to convince us) that mainstream school wasn't for him, that he wouldn't cope with it (or it with him!) Im so glad I stood my ground with them and didn't give in.

So glad for you that DS (and you) proved them wrong.

Exactly the same with mine, we had Essex stages which were if they didn't want to statement them, a sort of watered down plan.
If you got to stage four you needed a statement.
My son went way above it but I resisted the extreme measures they wanted to implement and went down the mainstream route.
He is 22 now and has a job and a girlfriend, in fact he took her to London, wined and dined her and proposed on Saturday.
We still have moments (or sometimes events that can last ages) but on the whole its looking good:)
