General Comments
Through Spectrum Connections I have been part of a community that I have been accepted with my 5 year old on the spectrum. There is no judgement. We can be ourselves and have fun at their events. It is important to have these types of groups in our community as I feel we don't fit in with the "norm" and that is ok here. We have enjoyed the events they have put on for us and meet like minded people. Their morning teas give my son the sense of belonging and happiness and also a chance for him to be himself and have fun. My son and I are struggling to fit in and make friends and we are able to build these connections when we are at these community events.

- “Fantastic, welcoming event this morning. It was great meeting with other mums who are travelling the same path, wanting the support and guidance to support their children. These events are informative and such a necessity for us parents. Nadia was fantastic to listen to. Thank you.” Anonymous
- “Amazing to listen to Nadia and then to meet with other parents who just “Get It” anonymous
- “The Spectrum connections meetings are such a great way to peel off my mask and talk honestly about struggles with parents that just “get it”. Being able to bring my kids along as a solo mother is great as I don’t need to organise babysitting. The bonus is my children love coming along as they get to socialize in a safe place with other kids that are also neurodiverse.” L
