Autism and social services
Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2021 10:24 am
Hi I was wondering if you could help me.
My daughter was born nearly 9 months ago previously me and my ex partner at the time had a few arguments. Someone ended up ringing the police and social services came out.
They remained with us for a period of time.
My daughter was then born. 2 weeks later my ex had a nervous breakdown and resulted in him kicking a baby gate and it hit my head (baby was not hurt) he then also tried to stab himself in the face.
They put my daughter into foster care then my parents took her.
Fast forward a couple months he’s been diagnosed with autism and possible adhd. They have been making me do courses on domestic violence which I’ve done everything I’ve been asked. He’s also improved so much. Our court date is coming up and I’m hoping sheesh returned to my care. However I understand there may be some time for him to get better and understand his autism he got diagnosed at the age of 26 so all these years not known what was wrong with himself. My question is at the moment I know he can’t be around us as the risk. Is there any chance if the risk is reduced and minimised what are the chances of him being aloud back home and being a family again. He’s a lovely man and been undiagnosed for years which played a massive part on his mental health. Please any advice would be great full appreciated
