Hello & welcome to the Autism Page. My name is Jade, I am a married mum with two autistic boys (10 & 12) and founder of The Autism Page website. When my eldest son was diagnosed autistic at age 2, I found myself overwhelmed and desperately looking for information. Over the last 10 years I have learnt so much about how to support my kids. The goal of the Autism Page website is to share information I have found helpful along with my experiences in the hope that you will find something useful too.
Both my children are currently in specialist schools, my eldest is autistic and non speaking and my youngest is autistic, ADHD with echolalic communication. Since 2019 I have been involved in parent support including facilitating groups / courses, providing 1-1 and content provision for a range of organisations. You can find out more about me here.
If you are new to autism it can be a bit overwhelming a good place to start is my neurodiversity post and the recently diagnosed page.
Stay in touch by signing up for The Autism Page newsletter and you will also get my guide to the top 11 autism supports for free.
I found it hard to know what I should do first when my children were diagnosed. There are so many options and this is where The Autism Page Network can help. Join us over on Facebook and the group can offer more individual advice to support you.
Can’t find what you are looking for then try the search bar or send me an email – jade@theautismpage.com
