Good day to you.
I am from Australia and belong to the First peoples here and born into the Arabana clan group.
I am very happy to know that there is a chat group to talk about matters that impact on everyday lives because of autism.
I am a mum of 28 years getting to know my son who has been given a diagnosis of autism, intellectual disability and tourettes conditions.
My life is dedicated to making his life meaningful and of quality. He tells me about his preferences through communication with short sentences that are often repetitious and I read his body's behavior when he is happy, sad or mad.
I am not sure how to proceed in talking with you but open to say hello all the same.
