Our Story
***********
Noah is aged five and was diagnosed, aged two, with moderate to severe autism. He is non-verbal and unable to communicate his wants and needs, which leads to a high level of frustration and some attempts to hurt himself and family members.
Noah has no perception of danger and suffers sensory processing disorder which means that he therefore finds it stressful when out in the wider community especially in relation to noise.Both within the home and out in the community Noah seeks movement to counter his anxiety and stress and has major difficulty sleeping.
As is common with autism, Noah finds it difficult to build social relationships with his peers.

So after a long hard decision we as a family have decided to approach a company to assist us with a Autism Life dog

In the last few days the company have called to state we have been accepted on the training programme and will assist us to have a trained autism life dog specially to meet Noah’s needs

So we are setting up this page to help fundraise for this chance to help Noah in so many ways as we honestly and truly believe that having a dog will relieve some of the stress, anxiety and tension Noah sometimes experiences and it will help him in building meaningful relationships.
