. I'm sorry to hear you're having such a tough time right now. There's loads of info via the home pg + also the posts so have a look around if you haven't already. If you cd tell us a bit more about your 12 yr old then posters can be more precise in their replies, also the same goes for the 3 yr old. Are you getting any support from social services? Does your 12 yr old have a statement of educational needs so he can get some support at school - transferring to a bigger mainstream school (if that is the case) can prove difficult for our children. You can find where there are support grps by using the home pg. Whether they'd apply or be suitable for your 3 yr old I don't know. Also you can ring the nas helpline for advice. I understand that they can't always talk to you straight away so you may have to leave a msg but I also understand they will get back to you. There's always this site + people here understand + will try to help.
