SEND diaries: Didcot mother says autistic son has had no school offers

The mother of an autistic son says she feels "really down, really low and lonely" after he lost out on a potential school placement.

Olivia, from Didcot in Oxfordshire, is currently unable to return to work while her five-year-old son Stanley has no school placement.

He has autism, a sensory processing disorder and a severe speech delay, and was preparing to make the transition from nursery to primary school in 2024.
