Hi, I’m new and I’m trying to get help for my best friend who’s 27 year old son has Asperger’s, she is epileptic and confined to a wheelchair due to a back injury. Her son got his girlfriend pregnant then wouldn’t cope with the baby so my friend and her husband have been bringing him up for the last 3 years. They love their grandson to bits and don’t want to lose him but they have never had a penny out of the child support he gets for the child. He is constantly ringing them wanting money and telling them that he’ll take his son back if they don’t give him money. I’ve heard the calls and they are really nasty, he threatens to kill himself and tells my friend that she and her husband don’t love him but they are on benefits due to her disability and her husband being her carer along with looking after the baby.they just can’t afford his demands. Is there any help they can get to try and help with his behaviour which I can only assume is related to his Asperger’s, I don’t want to offend anyone as I don’t know much about it, I’m just trying to find information that may help her relationship with him, both her and her husband are exhausted from the calls that go on throughout the night.
