I cannot thank you and Living Autism enough for the help and support you have given us in finding suitable accommodation for our son. He is an intelligent young man with complex needs and no suitable accommodation was available in the area in which we lived. Our local authority were unable to help, and as a family we felt very much alone in our search for somewhere suitable for our son. It was only when we happened upon Living Autism’s website, quite by chance, and found their ‘Tell us what you need’ section, that we were able to make progress. After describing our son’s condition we were given a number of suggestions of suitable places and from those finally chose one that we hope, in time, our son will be happy in. We have been supported, advised and encouraged by you, at Living Autism, throughout the process of getting funding and moving our son, and could certainly not have managed without it. It can be very stressful, not just for the autistic person himself, but for his family, and the fact that this was recognised by you, was very helpful indeed.
