I have a story to tell you about my son whos 21 and a half and has severe autism,learning disabilities and seizures. 17 Mths ago my son was sectioned under the Mental Health Act. When hes was sectioned, I felt my world had ended, but I decided against the odds that I would keep positive and focus on all things positive. I visited my son regularly,started taking him for walks on hospital grounds and then into the community.Before long he was having overnights at home every wk. I never thought I would be able to manage my son on my own as before his dad had been there to help. I found myself coping very well and it felt so good. On 30th July this yr, my son came home for good and he was discharged on 13th august:) I thought I would share this with you ;)
