From people who came through it

  • โ€œFor 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.โ€

  • โ€œHi, 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.โ€

  • โ€œI was where you are eighteen months ago. For me it was school refusal since September. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces. From someone who gets it.โ€

  • โ€œI'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.โ€
