Thank you Auntiemum - our two do sound very similar. It is so hard when they dont fit in. It's not that I want him to be normal or anything - it's just that I hate seeing how hard it is for him and how uncomfortable it makes him to be put in these situations. Sounds like you have made the right choice for your daughter. I would love to be able to do the same for my son but financially it isn't viable for us.

He will be 5 at the end of october so he SHOULD be giong next year. But I have spoken to different people and found that if it is recommended by pre school/psychologist that it would be beneficial for him to be kept back than this would be an option. He would then go as a 6 year old (having turned 6 at the end of October 2009). Have others heard this? I hope this information is correct...

To me this is the best option for him - but I'm his mum so my opinion is probably a little biased. People are saying to me that I have to let him go some time. I'm not concerened with how I will cope though - it is my little man I am thinking of.
