  1. I read somewhere that having qualifications can except you from the learning disability criteria needed for supported living placements and social services funding. If MLD is under the educational terminology 'mild learning difficulties' it isn't enough to claim benefits because Dyslexia / Dyspraxia come under that heading where as learning disabilities come under severe learning difficulties.
  2. I hope I can get into the support group, but it only say autistic features in my care plans so I'm doubtful, although I live in supported living attended a day centre, my benefists get paid to social services thought my appointee,eg just feel like I've not done enough.
  3. The CLDT thought it would be good for me to attend a NHS day centre for people on the spectrum and LD which I have been attending for some months now but I hate it because its so boring and all we do is sit around in the dining room sometimes up to two hours between activities, the activities aren't so bad..... Now I don't really want to go anymore and miss most days but I'm a dilemma because if I stop going fully I'll be bored and will lose my funding and might have to get a job which I'm not ready for....... But if I carry on going I'll be bored. Would attending the day centre look good on my esa forums because I'm really worried about losing my benefits and being poor... Should I carry on going for the stake of my benefits?
  4. Social services LD team have got court of protection over my money becuase my frineds was taking all my benefits so they are my appointee and pay money into my bank account they they have got it paid to them from DWP eg. How would this affect my benefits? Has anybody eles got this and how is it working for you? when I reclaim benefits would it be more helpful for me having a appontee becuase I can't mangae my own money?
  5. I have seen two consultant psychiatrists from the community learning disability team and they must think the same thing BPD, last time I was sectioned was for hypomania so that doen't really fit in with BPD........ I disagree with the learning disabilities diagnosis only scored 67iq on the test so everytime I get sectioned I have to go to the learning disabilities hospital instead of mental health which is locked word.... didn't like it.
  6. the dotor wrote on the form she sent to my gp mild learning disabilities with autistic features, BPD and ?ADHD. ?ADHD...... dose that mean they are questioning that too?
  7. I was diagnosed with having autistic features and was wondering what that mean? Am I on the ASD spectrum?
  8. I like in supported living, housing benefit covers the rent (which is quite expensive) and social services pay for the support package...
  9. After my weekly foot shopping they give me £5 a day to spend which you can't do anything with. I used to having a weeks monies in my pocket and having a good time spending it. Now I feel like I can't do anything.
  10. I've just moved into supported housing after leaving hospital but social services/ occupational therapist won't let me have access to my money because they say I'm vulnerable to exploitation and I'm not aloud to drink on these tablets they gave me. Are they allowed to shop me having money? I'm still on section 3 from the hospital so if I refuse to take my medication they can take me back to hospital
  11. JsMum, I can fix my boiler which I have done many times, I can fix most things because I have special abilities from karma, The OT thought I was a damager when he called round plus he thought I was talking to manic and not sleeping, he got everything cut off and me sectioned but they make stuff up so they keep they're jobs thats why they were concerned. They want me to more to a adult placement so they can spy on me after the supported living, they can shuve it. I hate SS really bade.
  12. I was not even invited to my social services support plan.
  13. The mental health advocate's in the hospital are useless making false promises on when I was likely to be released. Mencap work for the CLDT for which I was in a LD hospital detained, the walls in garden were huge so no escape plus very boring. All I was sectioned for was talking very fast and taking the front cover of the gas boiler fixing it plus having a history of being in a special school. Yet they won't leave me alone wanting to see me four times a week and phoning me every day. I don't want this support I'm totally fine. I'm happy.
  14. I don't know the process with SS but they visit me two/three times a week after telling them countless times I dislike them and I don't need any support but yet they still come knocking on my door which I don't like answering then they tend to try the door or look through the windows. I feel they are keeping my diagnosis from me because when the head doctor said I have sighs of ASD I reacted negatively and stormed out the room, since them they don't even tell me what medication they recommend me take this time. It feels so intense at the moment.
  15. All I want is for them to leave me alone and stop harassing me but I feel I'm swimming against the tide as if I disengage with social services / community mental health team I will be sectioned again. They say I'm unaware I'm 'poorly'. They're is nothing wrong with me and they can't even give me a proper diagnosis yet. I'm getting fed up. I wish they would leave me alone.
  16. I don't know? I'm a little confused at the moment because I have different diagnosis flying around and one is possible ASD after spending 28 days in hospital under section they come to that conclusion as well as other things but my computer is being interrupted with messengers its hard to tell.
  17. Okay, I'm a little confused at the moment, is the mountain thing a obvious pattern for people?
  18. That don't make sense! Does it mean norfolk broads being flat and Everest being the top the more post you make higher up the mountain you get?
  19. I need it changing from the norfolk broads because I'm from liverpool, I made a mistake somewhere.
  20. Which offers the best ASD diagnosis and whats the criteria for each service? Do you need to go through these channels to get diagnosed and what do both entale from you experiences?
  21. How long did the assessment process take and what does it entail?
