Hello my brother is autistic he's an adult but I feel his social worker is overstepping the line. Such as insisting someone come to our home and monitor his showers - don't worry they're strictly not allowed in the bathroom - I've made that perfectly clear. Does he legally have to have a social worker? She also wants me to have a carers assessment though when I was also looking after my mum I never had one done. I don't feel I need this. Looking after my brother isn't difficult I'm not under pressure and he can do most things for himself. The household bills etc have all been sorted so the only pressure I have is keeping the house as clean and tidy as possible. I will probably have to call the advice line but any sensible replies are always appreciated. They don't really know my brother like I do and I hate to see him worked up and worried
