I was born in Liverpool and have lived in Cambridge for 9 years, I am a single mother to two boys. Both of my sons have complex conditions including Neurodevelopmental disorders (ASD/ADHD/SPD/GDA etc).
My vision for the group began out of the need of social inclusion for my children. There are many parents struggling to meet the needs of their children's social communication needs, therefore leading to isolation poverty and further mental health problems.
I know first hand that living with these conditions can be very isolating and challenging for our children, in particular social situations can be very daunting and trigger anxiety. The need for a social group to provide a safe place for the children to be able to learn social skill empowered me to start this group.
