Need advice for disabled child visa

[abdali]

Hello everyone,

Background;

My wife is a doctor by profession and has a kid, she recently got a job offer from NHS and we are going to apply tier 2 general visa. Unfortunately recently we noticed our baby showing some symptoms of Autism (though it’s so early to confirm his diagnosis as he is mere 17 months old).

I have two questions;

1. Supposed my baby diagnosed with autism in coming days (before applying our visa), will it effect our(for me, my wife and our child) visa application?

If this will not effect our visa application then;

2. How our baby’s condition can effect future applicants of ILR and BC?


Thanks in advance.

Waiting anxiously for value able opinions!

Can anyone shed more light please?

I think that's as light as it gets. Guidance documents and a link to a paper version of the application form (the application itself is online unless you're from North Korea but gives an idea of the questions asked) from the link below.

Refusing an application due to your child (possibly) being on the autistic spectrum would be discriminatory.

Also it's common within the UK for even mainstream schools in the state system (non-fee paying) to provide additional help for children who have special needs, including autism.

This will change under Boris. Too many people taking advantage of NHS

Perhaps you are unaware that the parents and child will have paid the NHS surcharge before arriving in the UK which will cover them for all NHS treatment. However for clarity, Special Educational Needs (SEN) assistance for children attending nurseries or schools in the UK are not provided by the NHS.

If you would like to familiarise yourself with this, all the information is in the Government link below:
