hi
im new have battled for years for support for my son got diagnosis at 14 by which time he has found his own way of coping which is gaming. No GCSEs as anxiety stopped him managing school. College promised support then pulled his course at last minute. So really struggling to motivate him to access education.
im a stroke survivor so struggle to do things myself.
just glad there’s a group I can come and chat with. As life’s a real struggle for me.
