Hello from Farnham. New to ASD

qcdj2009

Hi All,

My son, age 10 was officially diagnised yesterday with ASD, he also has ADHD and has been diagnosed with that for over 2 years now. He is on medication for it. He also has strict OCD routines and has just come back from 9 days at his Dad's where his hands are red raw, dry and bleeding. His behaviour at home is becoming increasingly more challenging and difficult for us as a family. At the moment I don't see how we are going to get out of it :-( My husband in particular is struggling. We also have 2 other children a duaghter ages 14 and a sone aged 4.

I'm hoping to get support, advice and a friendly ear on here to help us through this difficult time.

  • I did ask at school about Social Services but I didn't get a reply. What is the CAF, what does it involve and what does early intevention from SS mean?

    I have applied for DLA and we do get that.

    School have been rubbish and have only just applied for a statement for his needs. I have been asking for 2 years. I did apply myself last year but got no where but as things have got so worse recently I think the school were left with no choice.

    My only concern with respite would be what if he didn't want to go and kicked off?
