This is a great question. I think the short answer is that it depends on your situation.

It would be worth talking to your GP about this. Even if they don't know they answer, they should be able to put you in touch with other people who can help.

We do have some information about GDD on our website here - mencap.org.uk/learning-disa...

Contact also have some great information here - contact.org.uk/advice-and-s...

I hope this helps a little.
