AUTISM MUM SUPPORT - WHEN YOU'RE CONSTANTLY FIGHTING FOR YOUR CHILD
Supporting an autistic child can sometimes mean becoming an advocate as well as a parent. School meetings, SEND processes, referrals, waiting lists, assessments, emails, evidence and repeated explanations can begin to feel like another full-time role.
When You're Constantly Fighting for Your Child looks at the toll this can take on Mum. It explores advocacy fatigue, the pressure of repeatedly proving needs, differences between home and school, staying in fight mode, preparing for meetings, keeping useful records and protecting your own capacity while continuing to speak up for your child.
The downloadable resource includes a practical meeting guide, an advocacy support plan, ideas for creating a clear evidence trail, UK SEND and carers signposting and a personal message from Maggie.
This is not about telling parents to stop advocating. It is about making advocacy more sustainable, so Mum does not have to carry every battle in her head every hour of the day.
