Who here is parenting an ND child?

Has finding out their diagnosis also led to you or their other parent to a late diagnosis?

Any resources you’d like to share with the community?

    It’s profound, realising that you’re autistic .

    I wonder why some of us find it so traumatic, and others so liberating?

    Maybe it’s to do with how it happens. For me, I came to this self discovery after struggling with severe mental health problems that didn’t seem to have any explanation.

    Realising I’m autistic was an incredible release from self blame.

    I think there’s a unique journey for parents of autistic children, though. And not an easy one.

    Be kind and patient with yourself.
