    Hi @zippydog and welcome :smile:

    I'm sorry to hear about your son's difficulties. With regards to advice and support, the community benefits advisor may be a good place to start, as well as the ESA category.

    I hope this is helpful. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask.
