Hi.
I have decided I can no longer live my parents and need to escape. I need to find somewhere to live but will also provide support for me as I have autisum and cannot look after myself .

Social services in your area should be able to help. How old are you?

Are you the disabled poster who is in a wheelchair?

Hiphopopotamus · 10/07/2017 23:38

OP if you're the poster I think you are, you have a very complex back story that is going to affect how people answer this. You certainly need help but I'm not sure running away is the answer

Hope you're ok OP

Social services or your uni.

You can't just flee. Not if you can't wash and dress yourself. Make a GP appointment and insist on seeing doctor alone? Ask for social worker visit?

user1496484020 · 11/07/2017 11:56

Social services will not be allowed to contact your parents. You're 21, not a child.

user1496484020 · 11/07/2017 11:57

Do you see yourself as an adult or do you see yourself as a child?

justkeepswimmingg · 11/07/2017 11:58

Think I remember your previous thread OP. If I remember rightly you are already under a support programme? Or already have social services involved? You need to reach out to one of those, as running away is not going to help. You need a support network away from your parents, so please contact social services or charities that can meet your specific needs. Or at least see a GP for help.
Sorry to hear you're still having a hard time Flowers.

Basically, this poster has received similar advice over numerous threads:

  1. Contact social services. I can't, they'll tell my parents
  2. Contact your GP. I can't, they'll tell my parents
  3. Contact university student support. I can't, they'll tell my parents
  4. You're an adult, they can't contact your parents. They did before and don't believe me
  5. Stand up to your parents. I can't, I'm afraid my father will be violent. Ok, then contact police if they're violent. The police won't believe me.

The threads go round in circles and nothing ever gets resolved. He ignores any and all advice and suggestions. I fail to see what any of us can do.

Look OP, you are an adult (and supposedly studying Law at a London university Hmm ).

Either you are capable of living independently, or not. If you are, go online, sort out a flat/job/benefits, and leave.

Your parents can't stop you, unless there is some extraordinary legal restriction in place.

Although if you can't wash and dress yourself at 21, I do wonder. Autism would normally preclude being able to do that, especially as you seem fixated on it.
