Hi I'm new here.

hello I'm the Mum to 2 boys with autism, one severely who also has ADHD and associated learning difficulties. Now he's getting older and bigger I'm worrying about the future and what help will be out there for him. We have no outside help from social services or anything and I don't know where to turn for help and advice.

I hope you find lots of people to connect with. For starters, why not have a look at the guest posts: https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/blog
And find some discussion around a topic that interests you: https://community.scope.org.uk/categories
Also, don't forget to add a profile picture, the whole community looks like a more friendly place with real photos.
@YoungCarerOverHere is one of our lovely community champions and has lots of lived experience of family life with a sibling with autism and ADHD.
@MaryB might also be able to offer you some guidance about support available at school.
@Socksoff and @Naomi can also offer advice from a parent perspective.
Best wishes
Jen
Hi Plumm08y70
I'm really sorry to hear that you're not getting any support. I don't know what area you live in but if you contact Scope's helpline on 0808 800 3333 they may be able to put you in touch with a local Information & Advice Worker who can help you to find some local support :-)
I hope it goes really well with Julie :-) Just remember that Scope is here to help at any time
