Most people who know my family know that both my children are Autistic, my daughter was diagnosed at the age of 17 and my son at the age of 9 after many years of fighting a system to get them the support they deserve. Most people don’t know I was recently diagnosed myself after years of feeling like I’ve never fit in with the world. The world is not built for the neurodiverse and they face obstacles in their everyday lives. From fighting to getting the right support at school so they can thrive and not just survive to helping them navigate a world not built for them.

My son and I are taking part in the 60 Miles in June challenge in aid of the National Autistic Society. The National Autistic Society are there to help the 700,000 autistic people in the UK and their families - be it running specialist schools, campaigning for improved rights or training companies on being more autism-friendly, they are dedicated to transforming lives and changing attitudes. Your donations towards my efforts are greatly appreciated and not only that, but they will also be a huge help in creating a society that works for all autistic people and their families, thank you! 💜
