Help beyond diagnosis?

R’s mummy

Hi everyone, 

our son is 5 and was diagnosed when he was 4

with ASD with demand avoidance and sensory issues.

He suffers from a lot of social anxiety and will not attend school. I went with him 1/2 a day a week and even that was too much. So he is home schooled.  

My question is to other parents - beyond diagnosis have you had any help? We have had nothing! 

My husband and I are exhausted. He is physically violent and aggressive towards us and our 2 year old daughter all day long. He is controlling and highly demanding. We are walking on eggshells all day and night long. 

I am currently writing his EHCP. Once it is submitted will we get any help then?

  • An option here and it applies to children of all ages and even adults is request a needs Assessment from your local authority. Once requested they have to carrier it out. sometimes it involves a social worker or a support worker and they will carryout an assessment. 

    Once they have carried out the needs assessment they will offer you a range of support, some of which is hidden and requires a referral from either a doctor or social worker to access . They will also create EHCP and looking into possible future needs and support your son may have. they may help you integrate your son into main stream or specialised school and even help finically with costs depending on personal situation to assist. They can even help finically with home schooling equipment & resources.
