We came out nearly 4 years ago with our youngest son having ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)
We was pointed in the direction of Autism SA who was not really able to help due to his age 11 at the time, we was told they mainly deal with very young children or late teens, so we felt abit unsupported.
We later made contact with Disability SA, which is like fighting a losing battle due to the lack of support workers, we still havent got a support worker nearly 4 years on.
We searched high and low for a suitable school and that wasnt a easy task, we managed to get him into Hallett Cove South School that has a small special needs unit,
They was brilliant there and helped us heaps, and our son was happy in the small classroom enviroment.
He has now gone to Reynella East High School into mainstream and they are brilliant there understanding his needs.
We had no problem at all with our medicals before we left the uk, but dont take my word for it !!! Each case and children are different.
If you require anymore help just PM me and I can fill you in, in greatler detail what we went through.
