Our daughter is a person with autism, having an assessment shortly before her 17th birthday. She struggles with anxiety and family therapy sessions were offered to us by Autism Services to help us understand how autism affects her and what both myself and my husband can do to support her.
Our therapist was Anthony. We attended a series of one hour appointments (between our daughters transition between child and adult Autism Services).
We found this family service to be very helpful. We have a better appreciation of how a person with autism can have a different experience in the world, compared to others.
Anthony was always very welcoming to us and had very useful ways to explain e.g. the coke a cola effect, etc.
Our daughter is a wonderful and unique person who is also very capable of making her own decisions and we will be there to support her in the future, whatever she decides to do.
