💚 I WOULD WALK A MILLION MILES A DAY AND MORE FOR A HAPPIER FLAPPIER WORLD 💚 #JUSTKEEPSTIMMING

Me and my non-verbal son have faced many challenges over the 11 wonderful years he has spent on this earth. Filled with so much love and adored by any person he may meet. The lack of support and understanding was apparent from day one. From not being heard and excessively long waiting lists to then being told 'criteria' has not been met. From issues at home to issues at school, eventually being lost in a minefield of paperwork. The fight for the correct placement in education that takes far much longer than they deserve. The battle and struggle for those who are unable to fight it themselves is unmatched. Through years of SEN support work after realising I was the perfect person to become an advocate for so many, this is a continued and repeated pattern that I see which affects so much of their very well being.

I'm walking for......

Anybody and everybody with autism to raise funds for a better future! Something that holds a dear place in my heart.
