I know it's hard for fathers to open up sometimes; to admit they have a child with a disability but after ten years supporting fathers with an autistic child, or children, I can vouch for the fact that it can help and you don't have to be (or feel) ALONE! I hold regular meetings in our area and have seen just what it can mean to be able to open up and discuss your problems with other dads in the same boat. So do join in with this new forum, why should the girls have all the fun? Regards to all John

Latest top tips
a few bright ideas you've been sending us

  • Eye contact

    I put stickers on my forehead as a target for my son to look at.  This helped him to look at people's faces and people feel more like he is engaging with them, despite him still struggling with eye contact

  • Hair colour samples

    Try giving the hair-colour samples as finger fidgets during a hair cut. Great distraction.

  • Two sheets

    I put two waterproof sheets on, so when he wets, I can gently peel the sheet away without making him get up - so he goes back to sleep more easily!
