Hi everyone it's Emma here from the online community team.
I hope the new forum is working well for you. I just wanted to let you know of a fantastic new blog contribution we have published 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
Feel free to use this thread to discuss your experiences of managing neurodivergence as a carer.
Take care,
Emma
