MIND ON SPIN CYCLE - 21 03 13

My mind is like a faulty washing machine that keeps thundering into a useless spin-cycle. Today, the Heads of Services make their final visit to investigate my claims and then we'll have another meeting to discuss plans for Axel. 

This is the illustration I drew to clarify the issues. On the right is Priors Court School. Everything on-site of 50 acres. A specialist school for pupils with ASC. Over two hours drive away. On the left, on my doorstep, is the solution he's currently in. Given that transitions are a huge problem for him the inherent fault is obvious but also the specialists are incomparable and the size of staff unwieldy. What I didn't account for is how happy Axel is to come home. What to do?

Spin, spin, spin.

Gratefully I'm off to AMAZE's course (brilliant local charity supporting parents like me) called 'Looking After You' ran by the lovely Sandra Chitty. A couple of hours of talking through issues, pilates and meditation.

Wonder if I'll weep again. Ho hum.

And I am grateful to his school and care home for they give their best to a very tricky little chap.
