Hi everyone, it's Emma here from the online community team.
I just wanted to let you know of a thread available in the Neurodivergence and Cancer forum which is there for members who are neurodivergent and affected by cancer. This includes those who are caring for someone with cancer and you can access the forum here: Neurodivergence and Cancer
You may have also seen our fantastic new blog contribution in Community News: Part 1: Neurodivergence and Cancer - Caring Through Uncertainty
This is such an important account of the unique challenges of being a carer for a parent with cancer, whilst also caring for yourself as an autistic adult. It shares the challenges but also the strengths and I hope you will find it an encouraging read. The second part of the blog will be published next week.
Take care,
Emma
