A child cannot do well in an educational setting and then go home and be distressed and dysregulated  without it being a relationship between all the things they’ve done in the day.

Schools must stop saying if something only occurs at home then it is a home issue.

Most of the time it is also, or primarily, a school issue.

Typically, PDA and Autistic children are masking at school and the demands of school are outstripping their resources. When they get home to their safe place, that is often when they show the stress they have been under.

So, schools, when parents say what’s happening to their child at home, this should not be considered a separate issue from school. It is, by its nature, also and perhaps primarily a school issue.
