The family spoke with their local authority, Surrey County Council which, try as it might, could only find placements in area such as Yorkshire and Cornwall, due to a shortage of provision - a problem faced by families all over the country."We want to be part of his life, he part of ours. That was our starting point," Sally says.
The result was Linden Farm, a 10-bed home which offers accommodation, activities and specialised care for autistic adults with complex needs. "In the end we got Surrey County Council on our side and we proved to them that they would save money," Sally says.
