My OH has been offered a job in Newcastle, UK but we've been thinking about moving to Northern Ireland for a while as we love it there. Where should we choose?

We're in Glasgow just now with family scattered all over the UK so no real tie for one specific place. We have 2 teenage boys who are autistic.

My family and i have been constantly moving from Edinburgh to London for years, i’m autistic, 1/4 is diagnosed autistic, 2/4 on the waitlist, dh has ADHD, it’s hell. How long do you think that job will last, and would you stay there if he loses the job? Depending on the age of your boys, if you think he’d stay there between maybe 2-5 years, and you would probably stay if he lost it, I think the move is a good idea. We’re now finally staying in London because my parents are in a home over here, and ds16 is in a really good SEND school.

As bad as things are in the SEN world in England at the moment, many in NI have an even worse experience, so I wouldn’t be moving there, personally.
