Dipps that sounds dreadful. Is diagnosis an option to open those ways of doing things for you? If there was a diagnosis the Oliver McGowan training mandatory in the NHS also backs up the need to listen to families more effectively. |

Elder two siblings are on PoA. Many people from social services call many of us. Generally i think we are more available than they are

I spend a fair amount of time encouraging them to speak to each other but they are rushed off their feet and there is no process for this outside the assessment they are all trying to work around. With my daughter we tried to go private but it just doesn’t work, responsibility becomes even more confused

Serendippily - I have a feeling you'll have thought of anything I can suggest and I'm sorry that your experience of services has been so bad. Unfortunately I'm not surprised. I can say that they/we are not all the same and that whilst a diagnosis makes things easier not having one shouldn't be a barrier to reasonable adjustments. Having the reasonable adjustment utilised appropriately is another matter of course. Have you tried finding a MH or Autism advocate to support your mum as an independent? Your mum should have a care plan and safety plan and they are both documents that should be used to help to ensure that the things she finds helpful and unhelpful are known and considered when deciding on appropriate action/care.
