Kyle and Gillian McCormick, from Knightswood, Glasgow, say that their son Mikey has been left with no support after finishing school over a month ago. while waiting on a support package to be offered by social services.
"Mikey was supposed to be finishing school earlier than he did but because the care packages he needed weren't put into place, the school kept him on until the rest of the pupils finished", Kyle's dad told Glasgow Live. "The packages still haven't been put into place despite us meeting with social workers in January to discuss plans for him moving into adult services.
"For his other package, we were told just days before that he was coming up to this last session. From Mikey's school, there are around seven or eight who have all left school so they're in a similar position. We don't have any adult care plan going ahead. "One of Mikey's services shut down because they couldn't recruit staff." Mikey's parents are now majorly concerned that if he doesn't get a package in place soon it will negatively impact his development. Despite encouragement from his family, Mikey naturally likes to spend time on his own and, without any care services in place, would happily spend all his time alone in his room.
"He doesn't want to be dragged about. He's quite set in his ways and likes a routine so the school routine was good for him. When Mikey comes home from school or the service, he spends 99 percent of his time in his room on his own.
