DS is one of 4, and is Deaf and Autistic. Doesn't speak, in nappies, very wilful, no fear, an enigma all in all. DLA award is MR Care LR Mobility. I have to check on him constantly as he climbs up furniture and has no sense of danger. Not allowed outside unless supervised, has to be restrained when near roads and cars as he will run off, can't manage stairs so is usually carried as it takes him a minute or two to get down a flight of stairs holding on with both hands. Feeding is a nightmare as he ignores cutlery and will just use his hands to eat. Very challenging at nighttime. I need to keep checking on him. We use a baby monitor still, and he is 5. He quite often will climb onto the windowsill to sleep and wakes up at least twice a night.
I need to write a report first to get them to look at it. How do I tackle this to get an increase, and what language should I use (apart from "Show me the money!)??
