Hi @Jorj . I have a daughter much older than yours (17) recently diagnosed. She went through her primary school years very easily but it all fell apart at high school.
She left school last year and seems much more settled.
And a son aged 26 - different kettle of fish entirely. He has needed support from his pre school years. He's doing so well though. He is verbal and a really sweet soul. He's out working every day - all voluntary but he has few paid hours on a Saturday. It's done a wonder for his confidence and he likes his routine of having something to do every day.
What's your story?
