MomC and I had a meeting today with Youngest Son's school about his lack of attendance. I unfortunately was not able to make the call. I had a Dr's appointment that was supposed to start at 9:30 but didn't actually start until 9:55, and the call was at 10.
Apparently we are getting close to the point where Youngest is consider truant, which means the school will have to start filing paperwork with the court. We really don't want to get entangled with the courts. If Youngest doesn't start coming to school by early January they have to file the papers. They said that just getting him into the building would count. If he comes and sits in the counselor's office and reads or does homework that would be fine.
Youngest has said to his mom and his therapist that he has a hard time coping with all the people. Which seems like it could be true. Both his brothers have autism and have sensory issues, so he might too, and he has ADHD. They talked about a specific program, I can't remember the name of it now, that has smaller classes. He may or may not be able to get into it.
I talked a little more with MomC about writing up a contract with Youngest, that he will have 2-3 months to improve to the point where he is going to school every day and passing his classes. Otherwise he will have to come and live with me.
I hope it doesn't come to that.
