Hello everyone,

Hi l hope you are all ok?

My 17yr old daughter received her official diagnosis of ASD today, we have been going through the process for three years.

she already has a diagnosis of Anxiety and Depression and we have a ADHD assessment on the 26th. 

I am just looking to connect with other parents, l am also wondering if anyone has any recommendations with regards to weighted blankets, l want to get my daughter one.

Thank you

Sarah
