Hi NAS38948
While you are waiting for a community response, I thought that you may also like to contact our Autism Helpline team who can provide you with information and advice?
You can contact the team via telephone on 0808 800 4104 (Monday to Thursday 10am to 4pm, Friday 9am to 3pm). Please note that the Helpline is experiencing a high volume of calls and it may take a couple of attempts before you get through to speak to an advisor. Alternatively, should you prefer to send a message, you can do so via their webform:

Hope this helps,
