Lucy Johnson – “I am a parent carer to two autistic children, both likely have ADHD, and my youngest is extremely demand avoidant – I believe with PDA. I run face to face support groups for parent carers in my local area, who are dealing with school avoidance, demand avoidance and the challenges around this, whilst also providing support online through various groups.”
