Autism fight for help

To anyone who has a newly diagnosed GC on the autistic spectrum a brief word of advice. Encourage the parents to fight as hard as they can for all the help they can get. It won't be offered, it will be a hard difficult time. You may have to fight prejudice, the education authority and possibly the school but do all you can to get as much help as possible as soon as possible. We have just had our first glimmer of hope in a long while and it is worth the battle to see a smile.

There is a three hour debate on autism on 28th April. You can write to your MP and ask them to attend, and talk about autism.
Not that three hours is long enough, but it's a start.

I've sent one to my MP. It's easy to do. Just hope she turns up.
