Resources for Autistic Ukraine families
Donation protected
Here at Autism & ADHD(www.autismandadhd.org) we cannot begin to imagine how difficult it is for all the Ukrainians trying to travel at this horrifying time, but when you are also managing an autistic/ADHD child or adult as well, it just adds another layer of trauma, and it genuinely is keeping me awake at night.
We have liaised with the Red Cross and Autism Europe to see how best to help right now. We have suggested making packs of pocket-sized cards for the front-line professionals to understand how to support these families when they arrive at checkpoints, along with packs of cards to help build social scripts and visuals for the children on their traumatic journey, as the cards they have at the moment do not cover Neurodiversity. We are then able to use the Red Cross and Autism Europe to help us get the resources where they are need most.
Longer-term, we are exploring how we can provide training & support for displaced families.
We need this money NOW !! so please help us to help them .
