Hello we are a Nero family. Me, I'm Jane, my husband Richard and our son Tex who is 7. Tex has Autism and ADHD which is very challenging and we are looking for people who are understanding, supportive and positive.

Tex is home educated which was a decision we made about 15 years ago way before Tex for our own reasons and now we know Tex has super powers it's made us realise it was definitely the right choice.
