Our Story…
“We clearly remember the day we enter the sea of autism. Signs of a storm had been brewing on the horizon for a while and we hoped that, if we ignored them, they would blow away. With the word ‘autism’ delivered as its identity, the carefully planned, glorious visions of our son’s future were suddenly dragged away by the tide and large waves of reality crashed down upon us.
As we sailed the sea of the initial emotions of grief, loss and despair, we searched helplessly for somebody to direct us on the correct path to ‘curing’ our son’s ‘disease’.
However, we discovered something along the way – with the very grey and windy weather comes the enchantment of some very bright and sparkling moments. These days encouraged us to understand that our autism sea will never disappear but with guidance and support, the calm days are more frequent and bring glimmers of beauty that we would never have experienced without it.”
