Hi , finally my 17 yr old has been diagnosed.

ASD with low processing and understanding. Diagnosed at Great Ormand Street. They say son needs to be referred to Youth offending team . 
anyone know what they do ?

Also I think although son looks like he can understand and deal with issues such as health and money ,he can’t and I was wondering how I keep being his legal parent beyond 18 yrs . So I get included in anything that involves my son ? 
please could someone advice what is required and how to do it ? 
huge thanks.

  • I'm sorry to hear about the diagnosis, it can bring a lot of questions. Regarding the Youth Offending Team, they usually work with young people who've come into contact with the criminal justice system. It might be beneficial to talk to them to understand how they can support your son considering his diagnosis.
    Regarding legal guardianship after 18, it might be essential to explore legal options like guardianship or power of attorney. These could allow you to continue making decisions on behalf of your son. Speaking with a lawyer specializing in disability law could provide guidance on what's needed and how to proceed.
