Hi.
I haven't been active on chat for so long but need some advice fellow mumsnetters (please)
I've posted in general chat for traffic hoping someone will see and can signpost.
My dc is being assessed for autism, salt have said he will definitely get diagnosis at his review as she's been working with him for some time now.
Hes up most nights, squeezing into little spaces, self harming by banging his head of floor or walls, shoving stuff in his mouth that he shouldn't be mainly stuff like tissue and he does this so fact and forcefully.
During the day he's non stop jumping off things and going round and round in circles stimming.
Hes still nonverbal, has just started nursery but due to how severe his special needs are he can't go the full 3 hours yet. He needs 1-1 which has been applied for as emergency.
He needs constant watching due to his behaviours, he's such a flight risk he needs physically restriaing when out and about.
We applied and got awarded middle rate care as apparently he doesn't need care at night which he does and I've explained well on the forms but feel like it's been overlooked.
As for mobility, he's not been awarded it as he can physically walk despite regularly having Meltdowns which cause the self harming episodes so he either chucks himself on to the ground and refuses to walk or he bangs his head of the floor.
It's so distressing for him and others around him, he's obv still in Nappies, can't communicate at all.
He can't ask for a drink. He can't say he's hungry etc.
Hes such a fussy eater too.
I was hoping someone can offer some advice of signpost me to some advice for asking for them to actually read the form.
The salt did a fantastic letter detailing how high needs he is and how he needs 1-1 all 24.7
Also
Please be nice. It's hard. Really hard to see your dc hurting themselves but can't explain why, what's wrong.
Thank you very much 
Ps name changed as its been so long
