Real Life Stories
It can sometimes help to hear from people who been in similar situations and walked the path we find ourselves now on. Remember though that everyone's journey is different and everyone's child unique. Your child is writing their own story with you as co author, so embrace that and create your own best life together.

Other Useful Information
Free Workshops for parents & carers
Autism Central is a peer education programme, commissioned by NHS England. It aims to build knowledge and understanding of autism and empower families and carers to advocate for autistic people they support. Local support helps families to get the right understanding and adjustments in place across the services they use. Everything the programme does is informed by, or co-produced with autistic people, families and carers. Autism Central hubs deliver the programme in seven regions across England through group and one-to-one sessions, giving information on local services. Each session is delivered by parents and carers of autistic people who are happy to share their knowledge and experience with others. The Autism Central vision is a world where parents and carers of autistic children and adults are knowledgeable about autism, confident in navigating services and empowered to maintain both their own wellbeing and the wellbeing of the autistic person they support.
The free training can be accessed by all here: https://www.autismcentral.org.uk/events
