Child's Neurodivergence Snapshot:

Eldest son is on the spectrum (High functioning ASD) Most people would not know when meeting with him. But he needs routine, advance notice of plans, has deep anxiousness and is hugely empathetic and stickler for rules. He also thinks deeply and literally. He used to very high sensitivities but that has lessened over the years BUT exposure to too much stimulus e.g. noise, lights etc does trigger episodes.

Duties:

School pickups (NB), lunch, ensure homework is done, supper. Then just play with kids in between (maybe outings occasionally).
