Zoe's story
Harley and BrodieI have two sons/with ASD Harley is 14 and Brodie is 11.
Harley loves playstation and Brodie loves swimming at nans, swinging and the computer..
Harley is really good at playstation, online computer strategy games and technology. Brodie is really good at giving kisses to his mum, swimming and going away on holidays
Harley struggles with organization skills, getting off the playstation, doing his chores and the unknown. Brodie struggles with speech/communication, frustration, challenging behaviours and eating non food items.
Sometimes I, as a parent, find it hard when an outing goes pear shaped, when I have to find things to do that suit both my childrens needs, when people comment and stare.
But then I think about the special moments, like when Brodie said mum and nan (his first and only words) and when Harley's got a fantastic first high school report after his last primary school telling me he would never cope with high school. But especially when my mum and I flew with both boys to Detroit, LA and Hawaii and we coped and the boys coped and we had the holiday of a lifetime! x

You're a fantastic Mother. There will always be nasty people who stare or comment in this world, just leave them be, because they are obviously miserable souls, and don't deserve any recognition. H and B are amazing boys, you should be very very proud of them, and youself. Well done Zoe, you are a lovely girl.
