I don’t have any personal experience or direct advice to give to you, but I would recommend reaching out to Mencap’s Learning Disability Helpline at 0808 808 1111 or email helpline@mencap.org.uk as they will be able to give you some guidance on the paths you can go down. Wishing you and your son the best
