I apologise now if anyone reading this is a social worker, not all the same, sorry title ment to say social services not workers but couldnt change it
I have a son who has aspergecs and there is only me looking after him and i have 2 other boys who are 15 and 10, youngest is 6 with aspergecs.
I went to autisic course and now enrolled with them for help over phone if needed, and in the file it said you can request for help from a social worker to get some time for self and other children or direct payments which i was going for not the help from them just the payments.
My youngest goes to after school club on a tuesday and that is his routine now and cos i dont go college no more i have to pay for it which i dont mind, but being on benefits it comes outta that. What i was after was if they could maybe help with another night for them to pay so i can have quality time with my other children as my youngest can take all my time and sometimes not sleep till after 1am or even 4am all depends what he like that day.
So i thought even just grabbing a nice meal out for once just the three of us while ben is in after school club. I do feel horrid as sometimes its easier to let ben get away with things cos if you say no or shout at him he goes mental and its not his fault but sometimes can bully and take it out on his brothers and they do so well with him i feel they deserve a bit more from me.
Sorry just gone on one but its really annoyed me that the social services said i cant have any help because he is in a mainstream school (but he got a statement) which is totally wrong so i gotta type a really long letter that the autisic group told me to and i should not be refused a social worker.
Bit tearful atm cos i dont ask for no help they my kids and i will look after them the best i can, they dont see dad just me and im not asking for much.
sorry for boring you and thanks for reading really appreciate it
