Embracing Autistic identity can transform an individual's mental health. Growing up feeling misunderstood or pressured to ""fit in"" with neurotypical norms can lead to anxiety & depression. When met with understanding & support they can thrive, feeling valued for who they are.

Thank you to everyone who donated on Friday and our amazing children for their engagement and enthusiasm. @ElmTreeAcademy Victoria Academies Trust #TrustValues
