Hi! My name is Nicola. I am a Mummy to an incredible 11 year old daughter who suffers with trauma related anxiety and is awaiting her diagnosis for autism.


My daughter's trauma was domestic violence at the hands of her father who now has no access. Unfortunately, I have no family support and no network. As I am sure you are all aware, this journey is hard work and lonely when you are doing it with support. I feel like I am drowning  most days and simply can not take a break! 

My daughter's school will not do an EHCP as she masks well and has a high IQ. Basically, they explained it is a lot of effort and won't help them! Triumph Unfortunately, her school is poor at best. There is hope as she starts secondary school in September. Well, hope, more stress.... same thing! Lol

I am really hoping to feel less alone and not the 'Freak' Mummy that the school mummy's make me feel. I need to speak with people who understand.

If anyone has applied for an EHCP or been in a similar situation I would be so grateful to hear any advice you have. I have applied to all the right organisations and support. It is people who have lived it and can give me hope to keep going I need! 

Please be kind to me! I was at breaking point about 4 years ago! Lol

    I don't have experience of your specific reason for getting an EHCP, but do know in our area there are various charities and outreaches connected with Family Centres who can give support with EHCP s. I wonder if you do some googling in the local area or see if there any groups, often charities listed on the website of your local authority. Might be worth seeing if your CAB know of any locally.
