Help for autism and neurodivergent family life in Lebanon
From people who came through it
“To the parent just starting out: I know it feels like you are the only one. The supermarket stares, the meltdowns, the same five foods. It is hard. But you will find your people. I found a support group online and it helped just to know others get it. Fight for the assessments, keep notes, and do not be afraid to ask for help. And look after yourself too. You cannot pour from an empty cup.”

slow_monday56 · been through autism and neurodivergent family life“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“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.”
