How my journey began
A bit about me!
I am from New Zealand but have been living in various countries mostly Scotland for the past 19 years. I have 3 children. My son was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism when he was 12 years old (he’s now 20). CAMHS was an excellent help but I found I needed more help which was hard to find because I had two smaller children, one of which was a toddler at home so I had to learn myself how to parent differently. I am a trained primary school teacher and have taught in NZ and in the Middle East. I have qualifications in CBT - cognitive behaviour therapy, Well-being coaching and Children/Young Peoples mental health.
Phew! Makes me tired just reading it all
