I am completely on my own with my son, no friends family etc. Did have lots of friends etc, but during the years who wants to come round when a child is being incredibly anxious and banging etc, on walls,
although he does have behavious he is alovely and loving young man and I am very proud of him.
He was attending a school for sld but basically was left on his own alot of the time and we was living in a terraced home - complaints from the neighbours and all good fun from the environmental services, because he was banging on walls, he enjoys the feeling - sensory issues,
so i decided to up and leave the property and school and move counties
come across a great school online, managed to get into a detached property with all hard walls, where i wasnt having to forever replaster the walls, smiles me - looked after him completely on my own for many months until the placement and funding was approved for the school.(and yes tiring and exhausting day in day out) But alls well that ends well- thank you for sharing my journey - its been a challenging one, where times i have felt at a total loss, and difficult to cope
