From people who came through it
“to whoever needs this: i was where you are two months ago. school refusal since september. this morning i sat in the garden with a coffee and felt ok. it came back for me a little at a time.”
Hailey R. · 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“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.”
sofiia.guitar · 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.”
