Hi all.

I am a little worried when my sons current college course ends (July 24). He is autistic and has Cerebral Palsy and needs support throughout the day with everything really. He is 21 and may be offered a 12 month Supported Internship but this is not guaranteed. My worry is what is next for him if the course is not an option. Where is best place to go for advise. His dream job would be a radio DJ as he loves music and knows so much about a wide range of music genres but obviously this is a difficult thing to get into.

If anyone has any advise on where we can look into his next chapter in his life it would be greatly received. Thanks

    Hi @Gav77 I'm sorry that no one was able to answer your question. What did your son decide to do?

    Hi Rachel.

    My son was offered a Work Internship at college but this is proving difficult as the local authority has cut funding for transport help to and from college. Hopefully all will work out for the next year anyway.

    That's great that he's been offered a Work Internship! I'm sorry that the funding has been cut, that seems so unfair. I hope it does all work out for you and your son 😊
