"West Yorkshire Parents of Neurodivergent Kids Call for Essential Support"

Parents of neurodivergent kids in West Yorkshire are calling for essential support, highlighting the lack of resources following an Autism spectrum diagnosis that can be life-changing.

• Joey Nettleton-Burrows from the National Autistic Society emphasized that a proper diagnosis can be transformative but many families lack necessary support both pre- and post-diagnosis.
• Parents expressed feelings of isolation, stating they often seek someone to listen and validate their experiences related to neurodiversity without the support of the National Health Service.
• The campaign aims to raise awareness about the critical need for resources and services that assist families navigating the challenges of raising children on the Autism spectrum.
