What are your experiences of trying to meet your children’s needs?

Having a child with ASN can be frustrating without the supports needed in place.

Within school before getting a diagnosis I found it was taboo to ask for extra help for her, however the second she had a diagnosis she was gave endless possibilities of support and help.

Outwith, I struggled myself with the lack of support and help in place for myself. Being told my child has ASN and gave a piece of paper with a diagnosis and to be left without any help I had to resort to Google and online supports to ask questions and get the help I needed.
