When a child is diagnosed with Autism it can feel quite overwhelming for parents and carers as so much can be unknown – and  it’s not a one size fits all diagnosis as Autism can look very different from one person to the next, and what works for one child, may not work for every child.

To offer more support on this World Autism Awareness Day at Newlife our Newlife Nurses have been discussing what Autism is, and how Newlife can help you in a new video which you can see here.

Whether you are the parent of a child who has been newly diagnosed, new behaviours have emerged, or you would just like to find out what has worked for some families Newlife has helped, this video will provide lots of support for parents or carers with children across the spectrum.

For more specific support for your child and their diagnosis you can also speak to one of our nurses. Please contact the Newlife Nurse Helpline Reception Team on freephone 0800 902 0095 Monday to Friday 8am – 8pm who will be able to arrange a Nurse call back or book an appointment to help you.
