Hello everyone,
I am new on this community, my name is Daniela and I am the mother of an 9 years old autistic child ( diagnosed in 2019 ) and ADHD ( diagnosed in 2025) .
I recently find myself in a difficult situation that is affecting my son wellbeing and I don’t know where to ask for advice and help!
3 days ago my ex husband ( the father of my son ) became homeless with my eldest son that is living with him ( 17 years old ) . We are co-parenting our autistic son and my ex husband was a big help for me as he use to take our autistic son to sleep over 2-3 nights a week and also looking after him during the day when I was at work . Now that he become homeless he is not able to take our Son to sleep with him and this is affecting a lot our son wellbeing as he is very attached to his father. He started to change his mood( he is nervous and cries a lot ) he wakes in the night , he is asking why is dad house is broke ( his way to say that he is not able to go there anymore) .
My ex husband at the moment is sleeping in a hotel that the council offered him with our eldest son and I don’t have idea when they will give him a house . The big issue is that they are not taking in consideration our youngest son that is Autistic because they are saying is living with me and here where I don’t know what to do to make them understand that our son needs to spend time with his dad and is important that he have a place where his dad is living.
Until the 10th April my son has his on room at his dad house where he loved to spend his time and he doesn’t even understand why his dad cannot go back to his house .
Can anyone please give me some advice on what I can do in this case?
Thank you in advance!
