Parents of Eleanor: 7 years

Mother: The parents are the two most important people. Get the parents functioning again and give them regular counselling. Someone to go to and talk to, to say, ‘We are finding this impossible. Is this normal? Do other people feel this?’ A trained person who is a parent, who comes with a professional so that they can balance one another, so that there is the professional point of view, ‘What we’re going to do for the child; what we’re going to do for you; what help there is available.’ But also to get the personal point of view from the parent saying, ‘Look, we’ve been there, we’re still married. We go out for dinner in the evenings. It’s OK. Yes, there is life after autism.’

Parents know the sort of questions that parents will be thinking. What they need to hear immediately are the nice things; that their children are pretty; that the children have normal bedrooms; because you only think of the bad things. ‘Will I ever be able to leave the house again?’ ‘Will my life ever be reasonably normal again?’
