My son has Aspergers and we are hopefully moving to Australia

Tina

I obviously will not move away with him, he is 19 and I was surprised that he immediately wanted to go and has been very excited.  The problem is immigration, as he is 19 he is not classed as a dependent.  I have a letter from the GP stating that he relies on me and his step father for his well being as well as financially because as of this time he is not in a position to be capable of working.  I am finding it difficult to express the words to explain that myself and my husband are my son's support network and familiarity.  Has anyone else been in this position or is there anything anyone can suggest to help??

  • Tina,, would it be better that you husband works there first for a while,, to see if you enjoys the job, then you and your family follow up later. I would hope although over 18, if you are his carer it could be a joint application as his care-dependant, so as long as you are in the country so is he. A lawyer or Embassy may point you in the right direction, surely there is test cases for this situation. Failing that welcome back to the UK. I feel like everyelse, money talks, there will probably have to be extra insurance or guarantors paid for at some level.,
