We have a mortgage, having bought house last year. Ds has a downstairs room as a playroom, this being the principal reason we bought this house as he needs his own space. ds is very severely autistic, non verbal, v loud and v obsessive. The room he uses has the only entry into the house so anyone coming in has to come through his space. He dislikes this intensely and we more or less dread having to answer the door these days as he shouts like mad, bangs on window etc whenever anyone dares to knock on door. I would really like to put up a partition wall to create a hallway so think this would lessen his anxiety and make our lives a bit easier. He would still be able to exit hi room through doors into lounge. What are my chances of getting a grant to do this?? I have a social worker and I think she might support my request but I would like to know whether this would be within the remit allowed before raising it. Any ideas?
