  • Hi Swirls, I am so sorry you are having such a hard time getting support for your son.  I am re-posting what Holly wrote yesterday, just in case you didn't see it.  If you contact the autism helpline, details below, they will be able to talk you through contacting local support.

    Warm regards,

    Hello

    I’m sorry you and your son are going through such a tough time. If you and your son are in the right space to do so, I would like to suggest contacting your GP, it’s very important to tell someone about your sons feelings or thoughts of suicide. Call your GP and make an urgent appointment. Your GP can make sure you get appropriate help and support.

    If it’s outside your GP hours call  111  to reach the NHS 111 service::   http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/AboutNHSservices/Emergencyandurgentcareservices/Pages/NHS-111.aspx

    The Samaritans also provide confidential non-judgemental emotional support, 24 hours a day on 116 123, or by email on jo@samaritans.org.

    MIND have information pages on coping with self harm or suicidal feelings based on the experiences of people who’ve been through it that you may find helpful.

    If you are very close to doing something to hurt yourself - call 999 now or go to your nearest A&E department. There should be someone there to support you and make sure you get ongoing support.

    If you need help with an autism related issue, our helpline can be emailed on autismhelpline@nas.org.uk or they’re open Monday to Thursday 10am-4pm and Friday 9am-3pm on 0808 800 4104.

    Also, to check about other services or support groups in your area, you can use the Autism Services Directory here: http://www.autism.org.uk/directory.aspx

    I hope that is of some help. 

    All the best, 

    Holly
