DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN AND SCARED !!

Hi , over the past 2 years we have been through a very hard time with Social Services . Since both my children were very young we have had issues behavioural , educational , self harm, foodCry and social. The children were being assessed for A.S.D when Social Services got involved falsely accusing us of Fabricated Induced Illness and as I have Depression also accusing me of having Munchausen's Syndrome . We are now fully finished with Social Services as the social worker was found to be incompetent and our doctor , who was the Safeguarding Officer , wrote a letter stating that we hadn't made anything up .

The assessment concluded with both children having A.S.D. traits but not enough for a diagnosis. The issues with the children are getting worse and they are struggling with life ( our son mainly but sometimes our daughter ) and the problem is we don't know where to turn ,I trust our doctor but after all that has happened my husband and I are scared as we don't want Social Services involved again . What can we do , where can we go I only want a diagnosis so that we can get the help and support that our childen need . Our family is broken and we don't know how to fix it , I can't even talk to the school because of the same reason .
Please can someone give us some advice , I was going to phone the Autism Helpline but i'm scared of doing that too.i just wish that someone would believe us and help

    My husband has suffered with anxiety all his life and has been taking meds and adjusted his lifestyle in the last 18 months to support better mental health which we hope will be a positive role model for our son to follow. 

    Does he also have ASD? That would explain his anxiety etc and also it would fit with your son having ASD due to the genetic link. Has he done the free test at aspergerstest.net/.../ ?
