My oldest two children are getting a free trip to Drayton Manor Park today, courtesy of Action for Children. This gives them a break from their little brother and a chance for some one-on-one mom and dad time for him.
Autism affects the whole family, so it is great that charities and organisations recognise this and offer support and help to brothers and sisters of disabled children.
They also got to attend the recent Mad Hatters Tea Party at Birmingham Botanical Gardens this year. This is another great charity that provides a huge party every year for disabled and disadvantaged kids. My son had been before, but this time the school SEN thought it would be nice for his brother and sister to attend instead. They had a great day and a well-deserved break.
These groups are so useful I have 3 children with autism and my oldest attends siblings group. They have really helped
