Hi
I'm mum to a 6 year old boy with a diagnosis of ASD. Currently awaiting assessment for ADHD also.
He attends a special school, has well above average intelligence, receives Occupational Therapy for bilateral coordination difficulties and deep pressure exercise and has sensory difficulties across the board.
Dad works full time; I work part time, study and do voluntary work around his care; little sister starting preschool in September
anyone else in Northern Ireland?
Nice to virtually meet you

This service is confidential and run by trained parent volunteers who are all parents themselves of a child or adult with autism : https://www.autism.org.uk/services/helplines/parent-to-parent.aspx
Furthermore you may like to have a look at our Autism Services Directory to see if there are any parent groups that you may like to join: https://www.autism.org.uk/services/autism-services-directory.aspx
