You might wanna try contacting victim support. Or see if a pastor or clergyman can reassure him these lies are completely unfounded and untrue?

Pleased the forum has been updated i prefer this format, easier to use in a way.

Welcome proudautie Have you tried contacting your local NAS branch in Manchester regarding the lack of access for trans services? Im not sure if you access facebook? There is an account called 'scott grant' which if you add will allow TMSA to add you to their secret facebook group. You can change your name legally by contacting an organisation that produces 'deed polls' or 'statutory declarations' all you need is one witness or two. Mencap or MIND might also be able to help you get the help you need. "How can I best support somebody with a learning disability who is lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender (LGBT)? Some people with a learning disability are lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender (LGBT), or they might be questioning their sexual orientation or gender. You can best support them by talking to them about being LGBT, and reassuring them that it this is okay to be LGBT. It is best practice for staff to be proactive in ensuring that the support and information they provide around sex and relationships is inclusive of LGBT people. In the provision of services there is a duty under the Equality Act 2010 to provide equality of opportunity to individuals with protected characteristics, including sexual orientation and gender reassignment. There are resources available to help you support LGBT people with a learning disability: CHANGE has produced an easy-read booklet on being lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender. The Social Care Institute for Excellence has produced a video on working with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people with a learning disability. Advice and information can be found in the online summary of the Secret Loves, Hidden Lives research project, which looked at the lives of lesbian, gay and bisexual people with a learning disability." https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/lgbtq-mental-health/#.WTslnuvyvIU i have heard good things about MIND being LGBTQ friendly, in some areas there is a trans mindline http://www.leedsandyorkpft.nhs.uk/our-services/gender-identity-service/ there is a telephone number on there, try ringing and explaining your situation to them. Ask them to help you fill in the forms, I have support workers help me fill in forms because my handwriting is poor. Explain to them you can't find anyone who is willing to help you fill in the forms.

Hi and welcome im the most active moderator on the forum. Feel free to ask any questions.

You thought about sending him on a holiday for people with disabilities? Then you both get a break. i went to Cornwall on a holiday for people with learning disabilities whilst my gran and aunt went to France, picking me up on the way home.

Actually we don't delete accounts of members. We just advise people to stop logging in, we do consign people to the spam folder if we have to bar them.

Hello and welcome to the forum, there are other members here who are into science myself included.

Hope you're assessment goes well and gives you the answers you need. Either way a diagnosis is not required for membership of this forum.

Welcome and thank you for running a group to help others it's hard work.

I don't recall there being a way of deleting your membership. People normally logout and don't logback in again.

Welcome I am half Kirkaldian.

Welcome to the forum. I left Bath spa university with a diphe after my friend died. I completed 180 credits of my diet and health degree. I later went on to complete a Bphil in Autism.

Welcome back

Thanks for posting this. My mp is a tory so unsure if this will be something he supports.

Yes and I only got my pip on grounds of my physical health needs. My autism was disregarded. It's how you describe your sons needs that they take into account. Hope you're gp can help you. Don't know what mine said but it did help. Can you get help from a local nas branch or mind or mencap? They helped my family over the years even when the NHS left me to rot.

The ones that refuse to allow my support workers to speak for me when I've given permission in the room at the time I refuse to see again.

I've just looked them up and it appears to be a volunteer run only organisation. You have a number of options here, 1, make a complaint to their manager regarding the way you have been treated. Include specific examples of things they've said or done with dates if possible. 2, leave and concentrate on the group that's giving you respect. 3, try and find another group to meet your needs. I run a social inclusion project in bath. If you are interested in attending please pm me. We meet near to Bath railway and bus stations.

Completely forgot about this post. Wow now I'm running my own social group in bath hoping for it to become a community interest company. I won the disability studies prize at university and I'm up for entrepreneur of the year in the same place. I've got a meeting about it today at university.

Enjoy I'm taking some autistic and similarly affected individuals to see lego batman next week.

Have you heard of ELAS? Edinburgh and Lothian aspergers group. They organise meets on a regular basis but I'm not sure whether they operate in your area. However they are very active.

Welcome Are you going to see the new lego batman movie? I saw the original logo movie with my autism and neurodiversity group when it came out.

I'm quite phone phobic about strangers because I can become nonverbal on the phone. Strangers are unpredictable, frightening and confusing. I'm quite verbal with people in person but struggle on the phone. We end up both talking over each other and I can't remember the conversation later.

Mine was never a proper father either. My mother is not much better. She uses emotional blackmail to try and control people.

How do deal with conflict of interests where the parents say their child is one thing but you witness another?
