Parent of Autistic Adult Financial help

Dylan1111

Hello, 

To cut a long story short. My Autistic Adult child has tried very hard to make it out in the big wide world and has come to the conclusion that they just cannot.

So they have walked out on there job and have moved back home. We're going to apply for PIP. But I was wondering if there is anything to help us financially on top of that? I work part-time and husband is full-time but having a 3rd person with us makes this financially difficult. 

Hopefully someone out there can give us some advice 

Thank you so much

  • Hi

    im starting to look into what benefits are available too. My son is trying to navigate the world of work but although he says he wants a job it all seems impossible for him to navigate. His last job lasted 3 days. He enjoyed it but the company said he arrived late and left early. He had difficulty leaving the house as he went into freeze mode but ge did go. He says he left at the same time as his co workers. Finding employers not willing to give a bit of leniency as he settles in. Once he feels secure he’d be a very good loyal employee. Sorry for the rant but it just seems so unfair he’s now having to look at benefits. It seems like your daughter is similar? I’m in Scotland so perhaps the benefits will be different. Wondering exactly what’s available.
