From people who came through it
“Hi, you. I was in the same place this time last year. For me it was a speech therapist waiting list. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do.”
Jordan W · been through autism and neurodivergent family life“I'm not going to tell you it gets easier, because I don't know if it does. What I can say is that you learn to carry it better. The assessments, the meetings, the forms, they're exhausting, but you're the expert on your child. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Find one person who gets it, even if it's just someone online. And if you can, find two hours a week just for you. It's not selfish, it's survival.”
Abigail K · 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're scared right now, I get it. About three years ago, that was me. An EHCP fight, every single day. I wake up most days without that dread. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.”
