Don’t give up. Don’t give up. Let your child develop at their own pace, take as much advice as you want. Be open. Don’t ever close your mind to anything. I’d also say be realistic as well. Be realistic. Sometimes you’ll be surprised what your child can achieve, I’ve been surprised. I didn’t know what to expect when we got the diagnosis seven years ago. I really didn’t know. It was very frightening but we’re still here and my child’s out there in mainstream school. Not everybody’s will be able to but, you know, don’t give up and remember to look after yourself because without you in the equation being fit and healthy, then you’ve got a lot less chance, so be kind, be very kind to yourself.
