A teenager has described how his father's death when he was nine left him so devastated and angry that his behaviour deteriorated and he got kicked out of school. Corey Williamson, now 17, said he didn't know where to turn and didn't get the support he needed when his dad, Keith died suddenly from heart problems.
Father and son were very close and Corey said he "crumbled" when he lost him. Corey, from Kimmel Bay in Conwy, was diagnosed with autism aged seven and didn’t know how to ask for help or express his grief when his dad died in hospital two years later.
At the time Corey was a pupil at Ysgol Maes Owen Primary in Kimmel Bay, but things got progressively worse when he went up to Rhyl High School and his grief came out as anger.
