Anyone a parent with special needs???

All i see are parents with children with special needs. Any parents or ttc people that are disabled? Not sure if this is even the right place for it

I have high functioning autism, so not really sure if I class it as a disability or not. I guess I should as I struggle in social situations but besides that I don't really see myself as different. You kinda just get on with life, even if you do some things differently

Same here, on both counts.

Found out via getting the support in place for my son, which I hear is quite a common thing. A lot of woman go undiagnosed because all the information tends to only focus on how it manifests in men. Like heart attacks, misleading and dangerous.

Was there something you wanted to ask? If it's relevant, I've found #autchat on twitter a very useful thing to follow (though sometimes extremely upsetting).
