If you’ve just joined the community, welcome! As one our our founding members (Yes YOU 👊) create your first welcome post saying who you are, where you're from, how old are your kids, what you admire most about them, what's the biggest challenge you find in parenting autistic kids and what YOU hope to get out of this group. This can feel cringy and all that, but the more we know about you, the more we can help each other out. I'll go first: My name is Kat, I'm originally from Poland but I've been living in the UK longer than I ever did in Poland. I have two kids - William 4 years old and Willow 10 months old. William has recently been diagnosed as autistic, but we have ton of health issues that are affecting his brain. We have spent thousands of pounds on private doctors and health testing to get to the bottom of how we can support him from the biological point of view (which is why I'm here!) and now we're moving into spending even more of the money we currently don't have to give him the best chance he has to thrive and not have to battle the downsides of autism. I admire William's determination and resourcefulness most. With Willow it must be her ever-positive character. The biggest challenge for me is dealing with discipline and not feel like I'm failing William. I genuinely don't know sometimes when he's being a toddler and I should demand from him certain level of cooperation and when his lack of cooperation is down to him not being ABLE to cooperate. I hope this group will become a space where other delusional/determined parents find out about and share the treatments, therapies or supplements that improved the lives of their kids so we can help all of our kids have the best and healthiest lives. I'm honoured you're here when we're just starting out and looking forward to seeing your post!
