Abandon child to social

Is your daughter on any medication to help with her autism? My neighbours son has aspergers which is on the autism spectrum and ADHD, when he is on medication he is much better. He is a wonderful child but not without his moments.

If you would like I can put you in touch with her family as it is always good to have someone who knows a little of what you are going through to talk to. She may be able to guide you down avenues you might not have approached before and would be more than happy to talk to you and your wife.

As above, don't apologise, there's no need.

My son suffers from a mental disorder not too dissimilar to Autisim (I've posted on the .Org before about it - some may remember).

If you need to vent/have a chat, either do so publically, or drop me a PM. It seriously does help to talk to people, in however little detail as you're happy with.

I was on the cow and gate baby forum for a few weeks. 1 lady on there had severe problems with her 12 year old. He went to special school. She was 6 months pregnant and struggling to control his violent outbursts, he threatened to stab her and burn house down. she asked for any advise other mums could offer. Most of us advised her to contact social to seek respite care. After about 6 weeks, they decided it was best if her son was taken into care. She was absolutely devastated, she only wanted some help. So needless to say I would be cautious about seeking help from social. But I do hope you get it all sorted soon.

That's awful - makes you wonder how many people don't get the help they need because they are worried about something like that happening
