Parent Nook Testimonials

Just having someone who gets it, to talk to is HUGE. It’s a very alienating experience to go through all this as it’s a very different experience to friends with neurotypical kids of a similar age.

It’s really essential therapy to talk about the interests in a safe space as I am aware it’s not great to burden friends and family heavily (or I don’t always want to) and don’t want all my interactions with them to be dominated by our family’s challenges.

Having someone to talk to who happens to have had some pretty parallel experiences is incredibly beneficial. I didn’t expect this (when I said I wanted to talk, I thought I was going to speak to an autism parenting mentor but had no idea of specifics).

It adds for me a massive bonus on top, speaking to someone who has neurodivergent kids of a really different age or profile.
I am benefitting from getting empathy, a space to unburden & also practical guidance.
