Who the Nourishing Neurodiversity Programme is for:
- Parents who have a child who you know or suspect is on the autism spectrum
- Your son or daughter met all their developmental milestones up until around the age of 18 months to 2 years, then you noticed they began to lose previously acquired skills. This is also known as ‘regressive autism’.
- Your child has delayed speech and poor communication skills
- You have been given little or no information from your doctor about what the diagnosis means or what you can do.
