“It took us 20 years to get Myles the support that should have been signposted from the off. Myles has a rare form of arthritis which took a long time to get treatment for as people were doubting how much pain he was in because he was not emotionally showing pain – he’s autistic so facial cues are different. It was hard, all of this because people didn’t understand autism.”
Date: Wednesday, 25 August 2021
Time: 7:00pm – 9:00pm
The event will take place on Zoom – if you have any questions email rebecca.ellis@autismbeds.org
