Autism can be so difficult. Many children on the autistic spectrum appear to cope at school but erupt when they get home. It can therefore be very difficult to get school support as the school are not seeing or dealing with difficulties. Parents need a lot of strength and determination to fights lot of battles safely.

To anyone who has a newly diagnosed GC on the autistic spectrum a brief word of advice. Encourage the parents to fight as hard as they can for all the help they can get. It won't be offered, it will be a hard difficult time. You may have to fight prejudice, the education authority and possibly the school but do all you can to get as much help as possible as soon as possible. We have just had our first glimmer of hope in a long while and it is worth the battle to see a smile.
