Uncontrollable 11 year old with ASD
Posted: Wed May 11, 2022 4:26 pm
advice please
My son is 11. He has a diagnosis of Autism, ADHD, PDA. He is violent and I can not control him. He has threatened to stab myself and other family members with a knife ( they are locked away now) He damages property and has meltdowns daily. This is just a snippet.
He has been excluded from school but now returned, caused damage at school and school have been less than helpful, I have asked for ehcp but told no because funding has all been used up.
Social services became involved 8 weeks ago and are putting in place a 'child in need' plan.
My issue is that I can not cope, I have asked that children's services take my son into voluntary accommodation for the sake of everyone's safety in the house but they just tell me no that there is no where for him to go and I have parental responsibility so I have no choice but to look after him.
I am worried he is going to either stab me in my sleep, hurt my other children or I have a mental breakdown.
Police have been to the house alot and say they can't do anything, I told them next time he becomes violent I am opening the door and putting him outside
(I was desperate at this point) police told me if I did that I would be arrested for neglect.
Please give me some advice, I'm at the end of my tether
