This seems to have been going on for a long time. No wonder you're so tired and depressed with it all. People on the autistic spectrum tend to slip between the various services and don't get the help they need. I see from one of your earlier posts that CAHMS turned you down because your son's proble...

I find it leaves me little time to do much housework, including decluttering and not enough time to spend with my family. I also love reading - auto/bio...

Do you have a Citizen's Advice Bureau near you? They helped me through the appeals process when my son was initially turned down for PIP and they were brilliant. They had ideas and advice that I would never even have thought of. In the end we didn't have to have an appeal hearing as the evidence I w...
