Although this blog is often aimed at autism, this is something that I feel strongly about, it relates not only to autistic children but also those that are neurotypical. As you may know already from the title we will be talking about locking your child's bedroom door and the impact this has on the child.
Having autism can be extremely challenging. Holding down a job, forming meaningful relationships, achieving independence, dealing with finances, and coping with anxiety, can all take a toll on our mental health. Autistic people are statistically much more likely to suffer from co-existing mental health conditions.
I often get asked what it’s like to live with autism, ADHD and the other things I have been diagnosed with. Now here it is, honestly, unedited, no rose-tinted glass, no trying to make parents feel better. It’s time for honesty.
