From people who came through it
“Hey. If you're just starting out with this, I won't pretend I've got it all sorted. Some days I still hide in the bathroom for five minutes. But you learn. You learn that the meltdown isn't naughtiness, it's overload. You learn which clothes work and which ones cause a fight. You learn to ignore the looks in the shop. Find one or two people who get it, even if it's online. And cut yourself some slack. You're doing more than you think.”
Elijah · been through autism and neurodivergent family life“Hi, you. Eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. School refusal since September. That was my life. My kids say I'm back. The bad days get further apart. From someone who gets it.”
brook.lamp65 · been through autism and neurodivergent family life“If you've just found this place, I was where you are nearly four years ago. For me it was the same five foods. Last month I had people round for dinner.”
lemon.bee · been through autism and neurodivergent family life“For anyone new to this: I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. It was sensory stuff with clothes and labels and I couldn't see past it. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
