She has been an amazing trooper. Other than a breakdown after a really stressful situation where we missed the first train, then got on the wrong train a second time and had to climb up and back down a ton of stairs with our suitcases (understandable at that point) she has really made me proud of her. Especially considering how hard it is for autistic kids dealing with change. We’ll see how she fares tomorrow.
Good luck to both of you! If you would like some help I can reccomend Evan Edinger’s videos on his experience migrating to the UK. It may not be useful to a teen though, but he does have a couple videos comparing the UK and US school systems.

Sounds like somebody earned themselves a really nice new plush toy or whatever kind of thing it is they like!
At this point (and she’s not demanding), I will buy her anything she wants within reason.

Thanks! Always good to have as much research material as possible in these situations.
