Hi Jsmum, thank you so so much for your help, really appreciate it!!! Just realised you also sent me a really long reply earlier this year when I posted once before. I feel awful as had major probs with my pc and couldn't get onto any sites so I don't think I replied Have re-read and it is so helpful, thanks again Rainbow xx

Hi Have a daughter who is 11 and has asd/adhd. She was diagnosed just before her 7th birthday. She can be described as high functioning but in other areas she really struggles so the professionals have found her really hard to pin down!! Have recently managed to secure an lea funded place at a fantastic school after a massive battle and life has changed so much for us. I cannot believe how much difference the right school makes. My daughter still has her "issues" but the school really knows how to deal with them and her and that's what makes the big difference.

Hi registered on here years ago but never got round to using it!!! I have a daughter who is 11 with asd & adhd. She has high anxiety levels and severe sensory difficulties. She also has a severe executive functioning disorder. We have had our application for hrm ongoing for a year and will in the next week have to sit in a tribunal and am so scared. Would appreciate any tips anyone has? Thank you very much!!

Hi was wondering if anyone could help me. I have a child aged 10 who has a dx of autism with a high IQ. She has such poor executive functioning difficulties that Guy's hospital ruled out AS and HFA. She has lots of difficulties, severe sensory, self injurous behaviours, ADHD, high anxiety etc etc. CAMHS backed my decision and felt that she really could do with a blue badge as she has such extreme and impulsive behaviours. Unfortunately we have been turned down and are now off to tribunal. I would really appreciate any pointers or advice as according to the DLA she met all of the criterias apart from her IQ which just seems ludicrous to me as it really shouldn't count when she has such severe difficulties. Thank you very much
