Autism friendly GCSE revision

My daughter is just being diagnosed with autism now at the start of yr 11. She is also experience EBSA and has extremely high anxiety and they (where she is having assessment) have said sensory overload. She has her heart set on college and studying psychology. I am doing what I can to help whilst being new to knowing anything about how neurodivergent brains learn and also working full time whilst trying to care for her (thankfully I work from home but it does mean we only have evenings to work in).

Would anyone direct me to some good neurodivergent friendly resources for her particularly science (double AQA), English (Macbeth and an inspector calls - Edexel) and History (Edexel). I am aware of the Oaka GCSE science bundle and trying to find a second hand set, unless anyone has any other recommendations.

Thanks so much from an exhausted mum.

Can this be repaired?

I bought this second hand a couple of years ago. It was sold as “vegan leather” aka plastic. I knew there was some flaking on the bow when I bought it. What I didn’t realise was the first time I took it out it would flake everywhere. Just touching it makes it flake off. I stuck it on a shelf and sort of gave up and now it even has some mildew on it. Just moving it to take these photos put flakes everywhere.

Thing is, I love the shape of this bag and would love to be able to use it. Has anyone been able to repair or have something like this covered? Or do I have admit defeat?

I would pay for someone to handle all my insurance renewals

Does any insurance broker do this for everything? This month I have had to sort house (ridiculously complex due to old house) car and pets. As they all go up I have had to call on each one and negotiate and it is really challenging to fit in the day, so I end up doing it later than is optimal. Would an insurance broker cover all of these or do I need a PA?

I tried one insurance broker for the house and after spending forever on the phone with them, they just came back and told me to go with the company I was already with.
