My Son

I was just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this. We are seeking to relocate to the UK as soon as possible.  My 15 year old son has autism and a severe developmental delay. Has anyone had to deal with the social service agencies for an situation like this? Schools, day programs, carers, etc. Just looking for information.

Thanks in advance!

Celtic,
I think a lot depends on the area where you'll be located - city v. rural, etc.  I think you'll find on the whole, however, that you'll get a lot more sympathy and financial support here (tax credits, carers allowance if you care for him in the home, disability living allowance for him, etc.).  It might not be a bad idea to start researching things now.  We have two Asperger's Syndrome students in the department where I work who get a lot of help from our Disabilities Office. 

One of my best friends here has 2 autistic children, and both are in schools in Bucks.  Her ds is not as severe as her dd.  PM me if you'd like more info or to talk to her.
