“First signs we noticed were around the age of two. The main one was lack of sleep.'
If you have a gut feeling that your child may be neurodivergent, it may not be as easy as you hope to get help and a diagnosis.
Melissa said: “My son was picked up on from an early age as he was very repetitive. He would only eat certain food, he liked to line things up and he avoided all emotional contact. "Totally out of character, as she’d always loved school and is really academic. Her headaches continued, so I took her to the doctors.
"As a teenager, I started to notice she would flick her hands out and started to carry lots of bits and bobs around in her pockets. Her AirPods go in when we’re around any noisy places and she can talk for hours about a subject she likes without picking up social queues for a two way conversation.""He never put anything in his mouth as a baby. He’d get super frustrated over seemingly small things and his communication didn’t develop as his peers.
"I had to leave work to become her full time carer. When she first started school, she didn’t settle well at all, lasting only two hours a day. We worked with her and built it up by 10 mins each week until we reached 3pm.”"Primary school was OK for him, as it was the same every day. Once he went to secondary - totally different story.”
Lindsay said: “As for all autistic people, routine is key for my son and our family. Deviating from that routine can cause unnecessary distress. Of course, there are times when we have to. "Usually she will draw what it is that’s made her feel the way she’s feeling, rather than drawing the emotion. Then we can talk about it.
Dionne said: “She takes herself off to a quiet place, if she needs to. And we just leave her until she’s ready to talk. "Ask for permission to talk about it and permission to cuddle them before rushing in. Just listening also makes a big big difference.” Lindsay said: “My son has significant communication difficulties and visual aids help him understand the world around him. His understanding is limited, so emotions are a tricky concept for him.
Dionne said: “It’s been a very long and tough process, getting her diagnosed. I have had to bang every GP, CAMHS and school door down.
