From the child’s point of view…

Autism is not only about what other people can see.

A child may look calm while working incredibly hard to manage sensory overload. She may carefully study other people to work out how to fit in. She may hold everything together throughout the school day, only for those feelings to spill out once she reaches the safety of home.

And the things she loves deeply are not “just interests”. They can bring comfort, connection, confidence and joy.

Understanding the experience behind the behaviour can completely change the way we respond.

Every autistic girl is different, of course. It is the pattern, intensity and impact that matter.

Fall schedule! And introducing a referral perk! Every new referral that joins a group will be a $40 credit good for group or towards a 1:1 session. We recognize the importance of word of mouth! Every group currently running is a result of one parent sharing with another, or one friend sharing a post. And we want to show our gratitude!

Ten years ago I sat across from a speech therapist, whom I loved very much. She looked at me and said, ‘Kate, you need to prepare yourself for nonverbal forever. You need to acknowledge a world where Cooper doesn’t speak.’

I remember I felt like my world ended. I learned after years of self growth that she said it to me with love.
She knew I needed to hear it.

My son is 15 now. By all standards he is considered nonverbal or nonspeaking.

And in the last week he said two words, unprompted, for the first time ever.

Owl.
M&Ms.

I never even dared to dream it was possible.

If you ask me today I would say maybe, just maybe, he might talk to me one day.

There is a chance. A good one. I will never give up hope. Not ever.

And just like that hope bubbles up.
