Learn more about your child's suspected/confirmed diagnosis and how Autism and social communication difficulties may impact upon them in the home, school and wider community. We will look at the autism profile, sensory sensitivities and helpful strategies for supporting your child. You will also be signposted to useful local, national and international resources.
