Does anyone know whether the club does anything to support our supporters who manage autism?
This got booked up within hours I think. I registered interest for my youngest as soon as the club put the post up and they announced it fully booked for the season the same day. Hopefully get him in next season
Was for older teenagers I was asking don’t even know what support might be needed or necessaryOr extend it or create another one. The demand is clearly there
Thanks shmmeeeEar defender hire/purchase would be good. Not been an issue until the last few season lol, but my daughter (no official diagnosis but fairly certain she’s on the spectrum somewhere) finds the crowd noise the hardest to deal with.
I think that’s a really good point and why the person who I’m asking for wants to ensure is really beneficial for their daughterNot support but my mate regularly goes up with his lad who has a diagnosis of ASC. He took him up, fearing he’d be completely overwhelmed - too noisy, too many people etc - turns out he loves it.
He’ll need my mate to go with him to the toilet and he’s always stood really close by to him but watching him bouncing about after Max scored vs Newport was great to see.
The demand is absolutely massive. But many people think autism is visual so quite rare.Or extend it or create another one. The demand is clearly there

I'm autistic. So are my children. But most people don't have a clue. Out of children living with us my 21 year old is gifted in just about everything. A** in both English language and literature. Now top student in French in France. 15 year old daughter very quiet until she knows you then never shuts up. 13 year old boy a handful. You notice it with him more. But as a family we just look like any other family. And there's many more of us that go unnoticed.
Not through a formal diagnosis. The threshold it's really high. People might have similar traits to some people with autism, but that doesn't make them autistic. It's like someone being particularly about the way they like things haven't got OCD.Do you find that usual personality traits can be labeled as autism?
The difficulty is that many who have autism also have other problems. People can have personality traits the same who have autism that are caused by something else.Do you find that usual personality traits can be labeled as autism?
Absolutely spot on.Every autistic person is different, if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person.
