Hi
My 20 year old son is autistic. He has ESA assessment today and now announces he is not autistic and wants to cancel his ESA. This is purely out of fear. He went to special needs school for most of his school life.
What do I do now.

Hi @CarolineMarie, what a difficult situation, I'm so sorry. Just to clarify, did this happen during the assessment?

Hi @CarolineMarie
My Daughter has autism and suffers with her anxiety.
It could be that he was anxious that he said that?
You could try ringing the autism westmidlands phone number and some one should be able to help you.
Any questions just ask! Hope you get some help.
