Oh man that is a real kick in the nuts mate. Life sucks sometimes but keep strong. First point of call is apply for 'carers allowance'

I've read so many posts on here about people with kids who have autism or special needs. I've also seen lots of posts on the other forum where windys have kids with additional needs.

You may even be able to claim 'disability living allowance' for both of them too. Also look into 'incapacity benefit' for your wife.

 

[cheapncheerful]

keep us posted hopefully it will work out in the end.../emoticons/biggrin.png

one thing I love about this forum is hearing other peoples problems as it makes me think how lucky I am....

and hope wifey comes out okay..

After reading your thread @armagh27 , puts life into perspective , hope every thing works out for you , and your family , can you not employ someone .

 

[Jake]

Sorry to hear all that mate, your doing the right thing by looking after the family, don't worry about work for now, perhaps just let the dust settle and get into a routine beifre you think about it too much...

Hope your wife has a quick recovery, and I'm sure you'll do a good job looking after your son!

If your really stuck, then maybe sell some work it sub it out to antiher local windie, but for now I'd conventrate on your fam...

 

[Dave B]

Yeah subbing would give you an income albeit smaller than you are used to and then keeping the customer base for when you can get back on it

Hope it sorts itself out soon mate

I have also noticed how many of us have autism etc in the family

My son is aspergers but a lot better as he gets older

Just means he has social issues and is a computer genius

But it is linked to autism (on the same spectrum ) so i can sympathise with you mate

 

[Alien Human]

Sorry to hear that mate. Do keep us posted though as things can hopefully improve just as quick as they go downhill. All the best /emoticons/smile.png

Sorry to hear you have had such a :turd: week. Everything always happens at once. Some on here will know my son has Autism. Well step son but met my wife when he was three so to me he's my son.

My full time job is manager of an Autism info and resource centre so if ya need anything just shout. /emoticons/wink.png

 

[Dave B]

I think maybe this lifestyle suits people with autistic kids and kids with other issues as we don't need to book time off or half days for appointments etc

If i need to go to the child development centre with him i just go

Maybe that's why we choose this job

Sorry to hear that mate, life really can throw a curve ball at you, I have just been referred to the surgeons with my knee, might be months of healing time, not sure what I am going to do.

Sucks mate, just got to keep plugging away.

:grouphug:

And that's why i love this forum

 

[MrBump]

Really sorry to hear all that armagh27. Hope everything works out ok. Not sure if its an option but could you possibly work a few hours in the early morning, say 5-7, hopefully while nippers asleep? Try to get some shops or commercial work so odd hours are more acceptable. Good luck, lots of kind people on here offering help, congrats to them, we need more people like that in the world :thumbsup:
