The Spectrum Reality
Hi I'm mum to nine year old daughter Amelia. Amelia was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder when she was four years old. On The Spectrum Reality I will talk about the issues I face day to day as a parent with a child on the spectrum. I will discuss the experiences I've encountered from the time of diagnoses to now. The most important message I've learned through all of this is that I'm not alone. So join me as I share my journey on the Spectrum Reality.

Episode 8
In this episode I will discuss hygiene, self-care and puberty, and how the smallest steps towards self-care are big achievements for people living with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I will talk about Amelia’s journey, from not being able to feed herself, dress herself, or brush her own teeth and all the little things that the everyday person takes for granted, to now when we are facing the next challenge of puberty and what that means for a child with autism.
