DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN AND SCARED !!

vickimacca

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

    Just trying to think back to my own school days and what gave me comfort, I've not read any responses since your post so excuse me if i've repeted anything.

    But it seems obvious that your sons PC means alot to him and maybe the only way your son can make sence of things. Excuse me if this sounds abit unreasonable but i'm now 29 and can empithise with alot of what you write of your son.

    I have a large tool collection and maintenance and repair of buildings and equipment is my interest as well as imporving efficaincy.

    Is it worth investing in a surge protector, a wireless dongle and a cheap geanerator with out door extention that he could put out of his bedroom window?

    In the event of a surge the hard-drive would be protected, the internet going down they would be a wireless option' EE do a good 4G wireless option these days that is good value for money and quick for wireless'and in the event of a power cut a generator stored in the shed could provide power. This may sound extreme but it adresses the anxity issues that youve described.

    If you tasked finding these items at a suitable and low cost to your son, he may find the re-search process and the anxity issues be addressed and feel better.

    Just an idea and would cost a few hundred but would have been the sort of thing that would have helped me at that age.

    Best of luck and kind reguards Steven.

    Please excuse the spelling i couldn't be bothered to goback to correct it..
