Walking for Autism 2026 Me and my girl

Walking for Autism 2026 has an incredibly heartfelt meaning to it, our life was turned upside down in 2021 when our girl tried to return to school but just found it too difficult. Being at home during covid and lockdown was hard but it also meant Ruby didnt have to mask. Its easy for me to say these things now but I had so little knowledge and no support for everything we had been through and what was to follow in the next few years. Trying to get a child back to school without support, a diagnoses or any idea really what I was doing was awful. I first asked for help when Ruby was 7 but to be honest after doing a Parenting Course and being told she was fine I just thought she's spirited and her Rubyisms are just her.  Finally age 15 and a half she had a diagnoses of Autism and then at almost 18 a ADHD diagnoses and in the previous 5 years terrible mental health. Life is a struggle and no its not a trend to be autistic its a different wiring, its what makes the person them but its equally often trying to fit a square peg in a round hole especially at school. We live our life our way, take each day as it comes and embrace the Rubyisms that have become a part of our family life. When you see my girl you wouldnt know, you would possibly have no idea as her masking is better than any Oscar winning actor but she keeps battling as she is strong and together we are stronger 💪❤️ so as we Walk our 10,000 steps a day we do this for all those still battling for diagnoses, support and just to lead a happy life.
If you have got this far then thank you, if you want to donate a little something thats great. If you see us out on our walk then give us a wave cos we are pretty happy people and being kind costs nothing ❤️😻
Life motto "you do you" cos thats what we do! xx
