Help a minor with Autism and his abusive mother.

Post Reply New Topic

He goes to school. His mother pays (with his SSI money) for him to go to a private special-needs school, where his classmates have all been told not to lend him a cell phone or anything he can communicate with. His access to the phone and the internet is also taken away t home, and he is watched 24/7 by "caregivers". The crap was stepped up since he tried to communicate he wanted out of the situation. I imagine if he wrote down what to say in court, the "caregivers" would be able to read it, and might take away his pen and paper.

Sorry for no reply but there's been no word from him or anyone around him. I've half given up as there's nothing I can do to help him except wait here till April11th when he turns 18. If he doesn't contact then or give some sign of his breakaway I don't know what to do, it could possibly mean his mother won and broke him. I hope to god not, but what is there left to do?

DW mom your advice seems to be good as Australian I know nothing about the legal system there so will defer to yourself as a simply practicality thing he may be competent but un aware of his options or he may be unable to take care of himself but because of the treatment he has goten from his family in which case he does need a career but a inderpended one how when you can have no contact with him will he get this.

but in any case you need to be smart this problem will be fixed in time your job is to make it less time though being smart and not to do anything stupid.

and I agree there is nothing you can do right now you should be speading your energis into fighting for when he becomes 18
