I have just gone through your post. I can understand your situation. The only thing I can suggest is that go to the best possible doctor who can diagnose the problem well and expert in curing it. Don't loose hope.

Check out the special yoga centre in London. I have done the training in sharing yoga with children with special needs, and it is awesome! Any questions just ask, but the work in just breathtaking....

I know there is at least one school for children with ASD and similar issues in Edgbaston because the son of a friend of mine goes there. My volunteering is restricted to the hospice in Solihull.
I hope you can find what you are looking for. Volunteer work is very rewarding
How I wish that parents and guardians of children with learning disabilities can share their experiences here. I have been assigned to teach ICT to dyslexic students and I want to hear other peoples experiences. Thanks.

At this day and age where all symptoms are being treated with some form of medication or drug, this book (The Dyslexia Doctor by Judy O'Donnell discusses how the author's son was cured of his dyslexia, using a program done for 10 minutes a day. As someone who prefers any natural type of healing and prevention rather than medication, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who knows somebody who has any form of learning difficulties. The author's son got cured in 12 months, if you're undergoing treatment for this type of disorder, how long have you been doing the treatment? This is definitely worth checking out.
Hiya. Its not always the easiest area to get into, unless you find a contact in a day centre or home.. It all depends on your experience, have you worked in this area before? Are you currently a therapist? If you're not a therapist, then you would need to undertake the correct qualifications to be able to gain insurance.
Some people will take jobs in the care industry, having done this myself, it's hard work! Well, I found it hard.. I was working in supported living and instead of us working to help the adults to improve their skills, we were expected to do stuff for them, like cleaners would.. or a mother. For me, I just wanted to go in there and teach them how to do things, improve their reading, writing, living skills, improve their interaction.
It's a challenge try to do what's expected instead of what your heart is telling you to do.
It's quite easy to get care jobs, but getting therapy roles are a little trickier. I did nine years at once place, offering massages and reflexology, before the council withdrew their funding. I was heartbroken, as were they..
If you're already a therapist, there are places out there, courses you can attend which specialise in this demographic, or if you have your certificates and insurance already, ring around a few places and see what they have.. nothing to lose!
