The school let him down. At 15 he was dinosed with hypermobility dyslexia autism spectrum disorder sensory prossesing and social anxity. He was billed so much the achol have him 2 hours a days a week home schooling. No exams taken. He started to isolate more use his pip for take outs. So I got SS in he had a support worker 6 weeks. They left. I tried again and the support worker left. Now 17 my money stopped with UC and child benifit. So I and my support worker went in job center and did a online form. My son won't speak on a phone. I am just 3rd party with pip mainly to talk on phone. I need support as I also autisic. The social services say the closed his case and adult care will pick up at 18 after Christmas. He does nothing now and I hardly see him always in his room sleeping playing games and eats take outs. Don't shower nothing. I worry the next few months depression will set in if not helpped. He needs support in the right areas to have a life. I do I get support full pip and a mobility car I not pushed to work and get support I do acivities. Why they no help between 16 and 18? I don't get it. No disibty team will pick up on it due to no educational plan In place.
