Hi everyone,
I am a 41 year old father to my autistic 15 year old daughter. I am her main carer as my wife works, and I have been looking for online resources to share experiences and get support about caring for children with disabilities. She is nonverbal so has quite severe disabilities and high needs.
I am very glad to have found this site and hopefully get to meet others in similar situations, so we can support one another.

Hi @puggo123 It's great to have you with us! Thanks for joining.
We have quite a few parents of disabled children here on the community, so you're in good company.
You may be particularly interested in visiting the following categories:
I'm also wondering whether you might find it helpful to access one of our family services, such as parents connect. Perhaps you could have a look?0 -
