'Temporary housing was like a prison for my neurodivergent son'

A mother's account: moving into cramped, noisy temporary housing made her son's autism worse — she was eventually rehomed and set up Morris Mission to help other neurodivergent families.
Research and reports warn temporary accommodation can cause sensory overload, disrupted schooling and delayed diagnoses for neurodivergent children — an estimated 25,000–120,000 kids in England may be affected.
Pressure for change: campaigners want better data and joined-up housing/education support; government will require councils to notify schools and GPs when a child is placed in temporary accommodation, but gaps remain.
