Hi and welcome to the board autumnsmum

I'm arsenic 3 dc's , ds1 (15..NT but dyslexic and dysgraphic.. But it doesn't hold him back at all)

ds2 (11) asc/as, serverly dyslexic, dyspraxic and sensory issues... Oh and he has mild hypermobility.
But he has the best sense of humour and is way beyond his years in maths, history science and anything that has a computer chip in!

and Dd (7) and NT .. She helps both boys with their English and spellings and bosses them about a lot!

I looked at the dla form once and passed on it tbh

Welcome to the SN board.

I have a 10yr-old with HFA, probable dyspraxia, and all the sensory stuff that goes with it.

My 7yr-old has AS, together with sensory issues.

My 4yr-old is so far NT.

I've been through the 'joy' of DLA forms before if there's anything you need help with.

Hi autumn I have 3 dc dd1 20 ds 13 and dd just 4 she has development delay mild hypotonia and severe speech delay or maybe oral dyspraxia.
Have been getting dla for a year now the forms are awful to fill in and make you feel quite depressed, but I got a friend to help me as husband not one for helping wit things like that.
Hope you have someone to help you with yours as the money does come in handy with extra things you may need for ds
