Someone asked me recently what keeps me going.
I didn't have to think about it for very long.
It's my sons Patrick and Angelo.
Over the years I have sat in countless meetings and listened to people tell me what autistic people can't do.
As a mam, that's hard to hear.
But I've always looked at my sons and seen who they are, not what someone who doesnt really know them has written in a report.
They are the reason I started campaigning all those years ago and they are still the reason I carry on now.
It hasn't always been easy and there are still challenges.
As you maybe aware my sons are adults now and life can still be demanding and tiring at times.
But I have also seen autistic individuals can achieve things that nobody thought possible when they're given the right opportunities and support.
I have seen this with our charity Ambassadors and Patrons who are fantastic role models.
That's why I believe so strongly in what we do .
Anyway, that was just a thought I wanted to share.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone.
