You can cure Autism
True or False?
No! Autism is not a disease and it cannot be cured. It is a neurological and genetic disorder. You can however, help your child to manage their behaviours which may make you and your child happier.

About Me
My name is Alice Morley and I am a Psychology graduate from the University of Bath. I am currently working as an Assistant Psychologist in a specialist school for children with additional needs in London.
I created this website as throughout my career, I have worked with a range of families and young people who found it difficult to find affordable and accessible advice and resources to support their children with their needs.
I felt that there was a need for an online platform to share advice and resources for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other additional needs.
My past employers include:
-
The Witherslack Group
-
The Specialist Service for Children with Learning Disabilities (NHS)
-
Bath University Autism Research Center
-

Disclaimer: I am not a qualified Clinical or Educational Psychologist and am not able to provide any diagnosis tips or assessments. This website is purely to share some resources and advice that I have previously used with clients.

I love the site- I can't wait to see how it evolves
