From people who came through it
“I 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.”
slow_monday56 · 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.”
A member · 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“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.”
