Catherine's story

Catherine’s son, Luke, was diagnosed with autism in 2020. Her second child, Ben, was later diagnosed with developmental delay and is currently undergoing the autism spectrum disorder diagnostic proccess.

Becoming a carer is something most people don’t anticipate happening, Catherine goes on to describe.

“It’s a role that we didn’t ask for, that we didn’t choose, and it’s been thrown on us and we are coping with it as best we can. I think what we can contribute is helping the people we care for live to their full potential.”
