    Thanks for this Hamish....trying to do housework and missing most of the budget coverage.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    I'm confused by the ISA limits mentioned by Hamish. It will already increase to £10.2k from next month, as stated in the last budget???
