Autism - Through A Child’s Eyes.

Children are born as a blessing and a gift!

With nurturing, guidance, and encouragement they grow to find their place in the world.

They have a choice to learn and develop individual traits that assist them to gain employment or choose a life path that gives them gratification.

A child on the Autism Spectrum should be allowed this choice also.

Recognition and assistance is needed for all these precious children.

It is not that they cannot do most things;

It is that they need the assistance and guidance to get there in a different way.

Educating ourselves!!!!

All too often, when a parent is handed a diagnosis that becomes known as Autism, there is no extensive explanation given, so we ‘Fly Blind’, suffering in silence, unsure what direction to take for assistance, guidance and understanding regarding the actual cause, symptoms or expectations!

Knowing personally how overwhelming this can become, I refused to sit back and wait with a ‘what if’ attitude, I needed to stand up for all local families to help gain the support and assistance we deserve, to assist our children in a transition for the best possible future. 

Establishing a community based Support Group, in a ‘non-clinical’, comfortable, calming environment, for a break with a cuppa to vent and chat about our needs. 

Working together as one in the community! To know we’re not alone!

With Australian national statistics rating at 1/78 and increasing, and my research showing Lithgow being closer to 1/60, we really need to step up NOW to gain the best assistance possible for all children with Special Needs in the Lithgow area.

Follow our full story, check the additional sub-pages - as we share information with the use of easier layman's terms to decipher the medical jargon, unraveling the truth behind the myths and misconceptions, giving a better understanding and direction to the best support and assistance your child may need, together with support and unity we can and will achieve our goals. 

Happiness and Calm to all xxx Sue
