Is there REALLY no help to be had in my town?

So, after four appointments, four GPs, and several fruitless phonecalls, I've been told by my GP that 'Oh, sorry, there's no support for adults with learning difficulties in Birmingham.'
I'm sorry, but I find that incredibly hard to believe. Really? Nothing? Nothing at all? Not even a charity that might be able to help me out?
I'm so frustrated because although I've been promised that they'll try and get me in with an OT, there's pretty much no chance I'll ever get a screening. For me, this means I'll never get a formal diagnosis of dyspraxia and so I may well be barred from other forms of support as they arise. Grrrrrrrr!
So, can anyone here tell me if there is anything in Birmingham? If anyone's having trouble in their own hometown might be worth asking here too!
Cheers!
