introduction, help and support

Hi everyone,

My name is Diane, I am a mother of two sons aged 9 and 12 and am married and work full time at a childrens hospice. My 12yr old joshua was diagnosed with Aspergers in Jan 2013. Me and my family moved from London to Kent in Aug 2013, joshua is also incontinent day and night, is dyslexic, suffers from CVS (cyclical vomitting syndrome) and also has huge anxiety issues. Since moving I am struggling to get the help and support my family needs to cope with day to day life with joshua, especially school! Joshua is not statemented and attends a mainstream school which he is struggling with as there is no support in place to help him cope, I have contacted various people and he is under CAMHS but due to long waiting lists no support is in place for us as a family. I would appreciate if anyone has any advice for me.

Thanks in advance
