  £425 for 25 hours am i meant to get back to full time work?
(40 Posts) Shellywelly1973 Mon 22-Jul-13 17:15:04  Ds has ASD &
ADHD. When he was excluded from school in Yr1 i had to resign
from my job. I earned more then dp but he admitted he couldn't
cope with Ds.  Ds was out of school for 14 months. He did spend
1 month in a PRU, he attended for 3 hours aday.  He eventually
started school full time 15 months ago. He attends an
independent ASD special school. He gets 4 extra weeks holidays
in comparison to my other 2 dc.  I've spent weeks trying to get
some care for him in the summer holidays, which are 8 weeks
long. 1 playscheme has called me back. The cost is £425 per week
10am - 3 pm, works out at £17 per hour. The playscheme only runs
for 3 weeks in total. So £1275 for 3 weeks care. Ds recieves 6
hours week restpite from social services so no further help is
available to us.  I've been self employed since Ds was excluded.
I hate it. Im lonely, don't leave the house all day, can go days
without seeing any
