We have been asked by a local play therapist for parent views and feedback...

What are the challenges your child/ren face and what services would you like there to be available, to help them live the lives they and you would like them to lead?

Please complete this anonymous survey to help them to understand local needs...

Note: the answers will go directly to the practitioner. This is a request from someone not affiliated with Esteem Team but working hard in the community to make a difference.

What are the challenges your child/ren face and what services would you like there to be available, to help them live the lives they and you would like them to lead?

ADHD Awareness Month
Day 13 – The Hidden Ones

She was the quiet one.
The helper.
The girl who looked out for all,
but forgot her homework.

She smiled when she was tired,
laughed when she was lost,
and folded herself small
so no one would see the chaos
spilling behind her eyes.

They called her sensitive,
shy,
a dreamer.
They never called her ADHD.

Years later,
she learned the truth:
that focus can flicker
and still burn bright,
that organisation isn’t the same as worth,
that care can turn to exhaustion
when you never stop trying.

She was never lazy.
Never broken.
Just unseen in a world
that measured neatness as success.

Now, she sees herself clearly.
A woman rebuilt from fragments,
her own compass found.

And she whispers to the girls still hiding:
You were never too much.
You were never not enough.
You were just waiting to be known.

Recent headlines have reported that President Trump has claimed paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen/Tylenol) use during pregnancy is “the cause of autism.”

Understandably, this has left many autistic people and parents worried. We want to be clear: there is no scientific evidence that paracetamol causes autism.

Major health bodies, including the NHS, Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, continue to recommend paracetamol as the safest first-line option for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. Untreated high fever, by contrast, can pose real risks to both parent and baby.

Misinformation can cause unnecessary fear. We encourage families to rely on trusted medical advice and remember. For the most up-to-date guidance on paracetamol usage in pregnancy please refer to the NHS website: https://f.mtr.cool/qdlzndnuch or consult with your GP/pharmacist.

We understand this kind of news can be distressing to families with disabled and/or autistic children. Remember, our Listening Ear service is here for you - book a 1-to-1 appointment with one of our family advicers on our website here: contact.org.uk/listening-ear
