Hello everyone, my name is Julie and I am MUM. For 12 years I have been struggling to find help and support for my son and now we are no further forward. We live in the UK and because the only emotion that my son shows isn’t anger, he is almost always unfairly labelled and dismissed by the professionals. He is now in the Criminal Justice System after repeatedly trying to break into the police HQ as he can no longer face being in the outside world ... I feel so desperately along and just don’t know where to turn or what to do ... is there anyone out there that can maybe point me in the right direction for support? Advice? Thanks you.
I would like to think a competent judge faced with someone who is charged with trying to break into a police station to get inside the police cells because the outside world is terrifying ... I would like to think, is going to realise a custodial sentence is not appropriate. ... but he absolutely should be assessed as soon as posable.
what does that mean ???
He mustn't be another statistic of the world.
he needs to see a physiotherapist/mental health team/crisis team. I hope he gets help when imprisoned. Contact where he is imprisoned and ask them to get him assessed.
Hello NAS73710,
I'm sorry to hear about your son being in the Criminal Justice System. The NAS website has a directory were you can enter your postcode and what you're looking for and hopefully some help center will come up near you. Here is the link: https://www.autism.org.uk/directory
All the best,
Karin Mod
has he been referred for a diagnosis of autism?
Sorry have noticed a couple of typos ... anger IS the only emotion he shows and it’s ‘alone’ not along ...
