Getting help.

NAS51351

My wonderful son is now 19 years old. He has Aspergers , he has the most amazing sense of humour and everybody loves him. Now my reality.. he finished college in June 2018. Both me and my Husband work full time. In the beginning of November 2018 I called adult social services to register my son , so he can qualify to do voluntary work at a nearby park with other adults. Thomas will not go out alone and would be vulnerable if he did. So were working,  Thomas is home alone, doing computer, tv etc. Totally not ideal. I am often in touch with social services and always get the same reply...your on our list. Today I threw in that I work in residential child care and know what I'm talking about when I say Thomas needs to be processed bloody quickly.  Thomas is now making new routines and problems for himself, as he is not getting the proper help. I have told social services today that it is becoming a safeguarding issue. I am currently awaiting a response.  What else can I do. I'm getting pretty annoyed now. Any ideas!!!

  • You on behalf of your son need to instruct a solicitor specialist. 

    Specialist firm of legal aid solicitors working in dealing in Community Care, Mental Health, incapacity law and Special Education Needs Law. will be a guide to the firm.  Don't go to the first on Google, ( They have paid to get that place) I suggest that you make your first enquiry to Citizens advice Bureau for guidance. Legal aid is dependent on your son's savings. another suggestion contact your nearest local autistic branch and ask others personally what solicitors they may have used. You could also ask your Council's social services. What solicitors do they have dealing with on behalf of organizing help for their handicapped "Charges". Then Google the solicitors / advisers.you have listed. You could also contact the Legal Services Agency a Charity Google this one they may help.

    To get the best solicitor you may have to Travel. I deal wit a solicitor on behalf of my son who cannot comprehend Language. I sometime have to travel a total of 60 miles there and back. You have waited long enough , just take your time and find the best help.
