Autism
At least one in 100 children in the UK has an autism spectrum condition (ASC).
Children may have problems with communication, social interaction and flexibility of thought. This can affect how children make sense of the world around them and relate to other people. Diagnosis can take a long time, and often follows a period of uncertainty in a child’s early years when it is unclear whether or not the child actually has an ASC.
It was a time of utter desperation. Our parenting skills were openly called into question, even though we’d raised three other children.
