We have just found out my 11yr old ds has been awarded dla (he has a diagnosis of Asperger's). We are delighted but now need advice on the best way to use the money. We are worried that ds is becoming socially isolated, we are a small family and as he has got older we have noticed that friends he had around our area don't knock to play anymore (he had a huge meltdown when out playing and scared them all off !). This, coupled with a recent move from mainstream primary to a ss has added to his sense of isolation as 'friends' from ms haven't bothered with him despite me trying to maintain contact .
Broadening/maintaining his interests (he loves outdoor pursuit's, mountain biking, kayaking, hiking and is totally obsessed with trains) would be great, and meeting other children to try and establish friendships is key. Thanks
