Hi I am struggling to get help for my disabled son (registered at highest rate for care and mobility) but GP refuses to talk to me because he is now 17 despite letters of authority. He needs medical referral to support his joints but Im being mucked around by NHS and Soc serv (we do not have a social worker) and there seem to be no charities in this area that can help. My son needs an electric wheelchair and suffers daily joint dislocations (he has a condition called DAMP - includes severe dyspraxia and ASD) and very vulnerable to falls which leave him hospitalised. Ive tried Nat autistic society, Asperger's Norfolk and various carers groups but noone can help. Variety Club refused wheelchair funding as it is too specialised, am applying to Whizzkids but need help now. Any advice? Nessie (Are there any advocacy groups in Norfolk? I really need help!)Does anyone have any advice for ASD carer/Mum struggling to get help with authorities in Norfolk? UK?
Find your local Citizens Advice Bureau - you can do a search here: http://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/index/g鈥?/a>
Explain your situation, and they'll help tell you what you can do. If you've never used the CAB before, don't worry - they really are helpful and completely confidential.Does anyone have any advice for ASD carer/Mum struggling to get help with authorities in Norfolk? UK?
