Received a call from my DS holiday camp to come and collect him early due to a meltdown caused by an argument with another boy. DS was swearing and threatening the other boy who had made derogatory comments about me. Ds made physical threats.
I had liaised heavily with the manager about my son’s ASD prior to booking, but they are not a specialist SEN setting, but thought they would be able to cope.
Even the council run SEN centre ( which is only open very limited hours) say they can only have him for 1/2 a day.
I am a single parent, working full time from home and trying to care for DS at the same time, feel like I’m drowning. DS father is a Disney Dad who swoops in for 24 hours once a month, he even tried to deny DS has ASD.
I tell my social worker but he doesn’t do anything, sometimes DS hurts me and I dread what will happen when he’s older.
Should I ask for a different social worker? Why does everyone think I can carry on like this, they know I am on medication for anxiety and depression. I don’t know if I can cope anymore.
