flag A Scottish mother pleads for urgent housing adaptations to protect her autistic son who eats dangerous materials.

flag A Scottish mother, Leigh Murphy, is seeking urgent help for her six-year-old son Steven, who has severe autism, pica, and an intellectual disability. flag Diagnosed in 2025, Steven eats walls, sand, mud, and other dangerous materials, exposing electrical wires and destroying his home. flag His mother, who cares for him full-time, lives in constant fear and must lock his bedroom door at night. flag The family, in a private rental they cannot modify, has waited three years for council housing to adapt the home with safety features like padded walls, a wet room, and ventilation. flag They hope the changes will prevent injury and reduce the strain on their household.
