I have a dd with severe ASD and am a single parent. For years people have been suggesting that we try to get a care assessment with a view to me getting a bit of help in the evenings while I cook the children's dinner as I also have 2 other children.
A few years ago someone on MN told me to be careful because she had almost lost her son because of an application to SS for support with her disabled son.
This totally put me off. But my dd is 12 now and she's getting taller all the time. Left alone, she gets very upset and bangs around the house and injures herself.
I read a lot of negative stuff about social workers on here and I am concerned about what could happen.
Any advice?

Can anyone talk to me about direct payments and the involvement of social workers etc?
