A Weird and Unsettling Glimpse Into the Autistic Mind

A two-minute film has been created to help people understand the intensity of life with autism, particularly when it comes to sensory overload. It's powerful stuff. I got quite emotional watching it and felt very sad for my son if this is what his world is like. No wonder he has meltdowns.

Intense viewing.

Watch the film here.

Don't Stare, I'm Not Naughty!

Watching an excellent BBC documentary which EXACTLY echoes our experience and frustration with CAHMS and mental health services. Especially the part where the poor mum is fed up of being fobbed off from one service to the other. Proof that the current system is woefully inadequate.

Please watch this documentary if you would like some insight into what parents like us have to deal with all the time!
