Another day in the home jail as other pupils are back at school. Migraine lifting. My daughter with autism is constantly eating out of boredom. We are still lonely and isolated. Waiting for school to organise timetables, available staff and a venue outside school main building for her to learn. Waiting for DWP to process a MR. Waiting for social work to organise themselves. Waiting for face to face appoinments to start again. There is a full time job advertised I would like to apply for. But I cant until my daughter is in education full time.
The impact of school dragging their heels is making my mental health slide.
