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!

    Local SS ! Laughing

    The social service like all government agencies services depends on your luck and the council area. My first introduction to social services was a nightmare, I felt that I have to be some sort of scumball smashing windows or a history of violence too any get assistance. They looked at me as if I had horns, what his problem, seems okay to me.

    One year of try to get assistance, it was not until a psychologist wrote to them, so maybe that is the answer,, no one can self refer, it needs one of the professional to back you up, so there is a record and an audit trail which they can not get away from. So unless you are deep in the system with surrounding issues,, social services will not respond to your request for assistance. Start smashing the banks windows and threatening to kill the local middle class populas(only joking, but you know what I mean).

    So far my assistance from the Social services as been one off writing reports about me(social care assessment), before they can "contract me out" to another service.

    I feel the SS, works on a remit of containment, so as long as your are feeding your child strawberries forever and no damage is getting done to the general populas, what is the problem ? Containment is out of sight, out of mind, there is no political or economical damage directly to the state. Shhhhhh come back in 10 years, Autism Act, I started a Joke !

     

    Lol but soo true unfortunatly, especially when an adult.
