Hello. Has anyone had any luck with getting suitable social housing or banding preference?
I’ve been band b for a year and a half and have an occupational therapist report saying I should be in a bungalow, but the ones available mostly have age or mobility restrictions. Im currently in a flat and it’s torture. I imagine a lot of autistics unfortunately experience this.
Yeah, unfortunately I struggle with housing as well. The council won't help me as I don't have any support needs, whereas homeless charities won't help me because my needs are too high. Go figure. 
When my benefits came through (including housing benefit) I was able to rent a room but the sensory experience is awful and because I suffer with paranoia, as part of an existing mental health condition, I'm really struggling to be honest. I'm going to be moving to a room with less people sharing the house shortly, so hopefully it'll be a bit more bearable. The council flat out told me that they won't do anything for me unless I'm homeless, so I take that to mean that I should try not to be homeless...again...albeit they didn't help me when I was homeless after leaving hospital.
