  Autism in Australia

  I just have to give a cheer to the Western Australian Autism Association. We did early intervention through them for 2 years and the support, information, care and results were amazing.
  
  Like everywhere it seems not all the states have what we have. I would love to see that.
  
  We are in a new school in the catholic education group, aide time is a struggle but they are prepared to listen and try things with us and we chose a small school with only 700 students so we are less likely to get lost in the system.
  
  I know we need to look to the future but sometimes the future is age 7, after early intervention you fall into this void where you have to go it alone and that can be very stressful, it makes it hard to to think about your child as an adult when you are still struggling to help them as a primary school student.
