Blue badge for child with autism?

[TheVolturi]

My ds was diagnosed with asd recently and we have had no help or advice from anyone really, assuming covid isn't helping.
He is at mainstream school and is high functioning, but finding school very hard as he is masking while he is there. So he will come out of school literally teetering on the edge of a breakdown and almost every day bolt off to the car, he is not aware of dangers and does not look before he crosses. I have his younger brother and sister with me too so it's hard to grab him every time.
The school is big, over 600 pupils and it is really hard to park legally, close to the school, so it's really busy and chaotic.
Would we have a chance of a blue badge in these circumstances?
My thinking is if we could park on school car park in disabled space or at least outside school, it would make things safer!

@Missingthesun you are either inadvertantly or deliberately misreading what I said, which was "This is all wrong, if it was a case of "just hold him for a while" [what you said] why can't parents of children with wheelchairs carry their children? That is ridiculous and discriminatory". I actually think it's a bit "sick" to use your description to suggest it's fine to carry a learning disabled child but not a physically disabled one. But, tbh it's exactly the kind of discrimination that parents of learning disabled children come across every day. Just like getting tutted for changing an older child's nappy in a disabled loo, if they're not physically disabled, and being expected to crawl on the floor of a normal toilet cubicle to do it. I wouldn't normally get into a fight with a random on the internet but I am so bloody tired of encountering attitudes like yours. Also your use of words like "tantrum" completely betrays you. Next we'll all be hearing that if only parents of children with ASD or LD tried harder maybe our children wouldn't have behaviour problems. You are part of the problem.

@missingthesun I can only think you're just looking for a fight because you have repeatedly been very rude and offensive tbh.
My 3 year old had a tantrum the other day because she wanted an ice lolly before her dinner and I said no.
On Monday I had to send my 8 year old with asd into school in his pe kit because the school decided that's what they wanted. I had to try to physically dress my sobbing child in these clothes that he doesn't normally wear, while he punched me and scratched me, then lifted him into the car while he screamed and cried all the way to school. Then had to half carry him across three roads from the car to the school yard, while I tried to make sure his younger siblings were also safely coming along, just as he collapsed in a heap as we got to his entrance clinging to me shaking. That's not a tantrum.

@TheVolturi well said

Just came across this post as i was looking for information for my niece who has a son with autism.
I cant believe what i read in regards to @Missingthesun comment.
Blue badges are given to people with "hidden" disabilities. Just because people can walk, they should not be made to feel unworthy of a badge that is obviously needed, or they wouldnt apply for one.
For some people with "hidden" disabilities the blue badge provides a lifeline.
These people may be able to walk, but their mind keeps them a prisoner and limits their life.
@TheVolturi you and your child have as much right as anyone else use a blue badge.
