Hy I have already received a lot of good advice from here but I need some more help please 
I have a child autistic and i Have disability as well we are in one bedroom flat 2 kids and me 
So many time police came because the neighbours are so disturbed because of my daughter as she is jumping banging the wall and running slot we are in 3rd floor.
recently I have contacted Mp about the situation and how it’s affecting our daily life and disturbance for neighbours and Mp put my case with council and the council have sent me the form to fill in and another form about medical documents and etc etc for me and my daughter I provided everything and after that I got a call from medical team one of the officer want to visit my flat just to see the living situation which is I’m ok with but I’m so nervous and not able to do anything at all I’m so nervous 
what should I think is it a good thing I mean they want to help us moving somewhere or just a normal procedure to put us in the housing regeneration list 
kind regards

    Hello @skhan95 :) Lovely to see you posting again.

    I think as above it seems as though they are trying to support you, so should be a good thing. Though I understand why it has made you worried. 

    How are your children coping at the moment?

    Hello @skhan95 🙂. Thank you for reaching out! It is great you are asking for advice. From what you have shared it sounds like you have a lot going on and that must be a huge weight on your shoulders.

    I hope the council helps you find an accommodation that meets your families needs.

    I feel you are doing all the right things for your daughter. Perhaps having her own room will give your daughter some space and time to herself, which seems like a good idea when an autistic child is stimming, having a meltdown or just overstimulated.

    It is understandable for you to feel nervous and I wish the council team are nice.
