A mother, whose child struggles with mental health issues, expressed her gratitude, stating, "This is simply incredible… This is going to be an absolute Godsend to all neurodiverse carers. Especially the new parents/carers, who have just received a diagnosis. The points, information, knowledge & delivery is perfect… Well done to all! I wish something like this was available 8 years ago."
