Are you new to the page? Heard of Autism, ADHD and other neurodiverse conditions but don't really understand what it means?

When my daughter was first diagnosed I didn't really fully understand autism.

NEST Ayrshire run free workshops fir anyone who lives within Ayrshire. Whilst on maternity leave i attended as many of these workshops as possible and they were honestly a godsend for me.

I was able to learn and adapt my parenting to my daughters needs. Check out their website nest.scot and have a browse. They also have online videos covering sleep, diet and anxiety.

You can also book their workshops through their site also!

Here is one if their workshops that gives you an introduction to Autusm ⬇️

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh are recruiting parents of children either with a confirmed neurodevelopmental diagnosis (including Autism, ADHD, FASD, and Learning/Intellectual Disability) or who are seeking assessment (i.e. on waiting list or seeking a referral) for a possible neurodevelopmental diagnosis to take part in their study.

The purpose of the study is to better understand the experiences of families with a child with a confirmed or suspected neurodevelopmental diagnosis, particularly regarding parental mental wellbeing, child quality of life, and child behaviour.

If you are interested in taking part, scan the QR code or visit this link: https://tinyurl.com/neurodev-wellbeing
