โHi, 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
โIf 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.โ
โHey. 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.โ
โIf 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.โ
