A family member has a child who is to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital for autism.
They've been told beds are scare and they may have to travel as far as 300 miles from home. Obviously this comes as a huge blow to the family who are suffering enough as it is.
But I wondered if anyone knows how it works. Is it best for a child to be moved closer to home when a bed becomes available or is it better to get settled someone a long way from home.
The child is middle-school age.
