Testimonials

Here is what some of our members said about the experience of connecting with other parents in the group.

"I am truly grateful for the parents I have met, who can identify with our challenging family circumstances."

New York Parent

"The most difficult thing for me is how isolating this experience can be. While every story is different Finding parents who are in similar situations has been life changing."

Massachusetts Parent

"After year of nobody really understanding what we've been through. I finally have a group of people that 100% gets it."

Ohio Parent

"After years of hiding in the dark, feeling lost, masked behind fake smiles I plastered with courage; these families gave me hope. Pained by the scars I bared, I realized others wore injuries as deep as me. Captive to my own isolation for years I was finally freed to share among those who understood and could offer new resources. But mainly I found support for the first time. Severe autism is hard. You shouldn’t have to feel alone. The secretes our scars whisper tells others we too need services and supports just as much as those we care for. When I felt lost - they gave me hope."

Iowa Parent

Having the support of other parents helps me to feel connected when I am feeling isolated and when the professionals are at a loss as how to help. No one, despite how well-meaning, can understand my situation the way another parent of a child with severe autism understands."

California Parent

"As an autism father, it is hard to share any details of the struggles of our family with others. By connecting with other fathers, I have been able to open up and feel some level of understanding. Thank you Solidarity P2P."
