Autistic Child higher rate care and mobility

hi, i’m new here, just had a query, my son is 6yo and was diagnosed with asd over 3 years ago, he recieves middle rate care, as he is getting older he is becoming more challenging, for example he will not go asleep till 12 every night and often wakes up early, he has no road safety and will escape from his car seat and wind the window down and jump out the car when my wife goes the shops, i have to leave my younger kids and sprint after him ( he is so fast now), he has lots of other issues.
Do you think it would be worth me trying again for higher rate care or mobilty?

I seem to remember that high rate mobility in the circumstances you describe requires the child to also qualify for high rate care. It is not going to be easy to claim.
Is he on any medication to help with sleep? If he sleeps better, his behaviour may be less challenging.
