Introduce yourself (part one)

Hi everyone,

We thought we'd create a discussion where people can say hello and introduce themselves.

You don't have to say something here but it'd be nice to get a chance to say hello Smile

Please remember that you should not share personal details (such as emails or phone numbers) to protect your privacy.

And don't feel you have to introduce yourself, it's entirely up to you and please only share what you're comfortable with.

    Hi my name is Trevor and myself and my wife are parents to Torin (5) and Niamh (4). Torin was diagnosed mid spectrum 18 months ago, confirming what we had long suspected and Niamh was tested as a sibling and diagnosed last month as on the spectrum/high functioning. We've been lucky in that they've received early diagnosis and therefore early intervention but as with all parents I am worried about both of them leading happy and independant lives and my ability as a parent to make sure that they both are given the greatest opportunity to acheive that whilst we are still here to support them.

    We've been through the usual trials of special needs assessment and working with mainstream education to ensure they are on top of supporting them (which is a constant battle).
