This is my second attempt at this thread - this time with a title.
Slightly droll this - but let's share the reasons for why we or our disabled dc have been refused help from SS or similar plus some of the least helpful/most banal comments that such agencies have told you:
I'll go first (I have many!):
'Your ds is still very young - we don't usually think about providing respite care until the child is about 7yrs old' (implication: we don't care if you drop dead of exhaustion in the meantime because that will save us money)
'you need to set boundaries' (no, really?)
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
SN children
OK, let's have all your excuses/comments from SS and similar
