My son has ADHD and some sensory difficulties. To some extent I can understand how the sensory difficulties feel to him as I know just what it's like to have a reaction to suncream that I'm allergic to, or to put on shoes that are too tight, and that must be what he feels like with all that kind of thing.
I was talking to a colleague the other day about our children as her DD is on the pathway for ASD diagnosis. She mentioned that she herself has a diagnosis of ASD and talked about our DCs sensory issues and her own sensory issues.
But a lot of the other difficulties that my DS has and that my colleague has are a bit of a closed book. I didn't like to ask my colleague about other issues and positive things about being neurodiverse, so I thought I'd ask Mumsnet....
Obviously this is MN and you don't owe me... But you also don't have to work with me!
