Social Services Support - I use the word "support" lightly!

MummysGirl

Been having some very interesting chats with other parents of ASD children and some of their stories when approaching Social services for help. I always wait till Im at the end of my tether before I ask for help. Im a single parent of an autistic girl and in 12 yrs Ive asked for help 3 times and refused. What excuses has your local SS given you to deny you support? The best one for me so far is ...

"look, youre feeding your daughter strawberrys, youre coping just fine"

Foot in Mouth WARNING: NEVER FEED YOUR CHILD STRAWBERRIES IF YOU NEED HELP!

Parents

  • I don't know anyone (parent or adult with ASD) of a child with ASD who has managed to get support. A friend was told that because they're coping, they don't need help. Yet, her 2 children with ASD clearly have serious problems.

    And if you're an high functioning adult, they don't want to know. My "support worker" was clueless.
