are you running out of energy to fight?
are you past caring and feeling numb?
is everything just getting too much?

Can we help you?

We have been there, yes right there at the very bottom and we couldnt see a way out of it all, but thanks to other parents of children with additional needs we now are back up where we belong and we now help other families to get through this difficult time.

We believe that building friendships with other parents who truely know, exactly what you are going through because they too have gone through the mill, can help you and strengthen your family so you are empowered to manage your daily lives without feeling so low.

It is easy for someone who doesn't have your child to say "oh i know what its like, my baby never slept through till it was 7 months" and you feel like screaming because you have had 3 years of it with no end in sight.

How can someone understand that when your child is really distressed, they can't just tell them to stop making a fuss, because it isnt like that with a child on the Autistic Spectrum.

How do you get others to understand you dont have a social life because going out is a complete nightmare scenario so you end up staying in because it is easier for the whole family and friends fall by the wayside.

Even going to school is traumatic because your child is different and other parents dont understand.


We meet up every week and chat about everything good or bad because we find this to be beneficial to all of us. We laugh, we cry, but most of all we help each other by sharing our experiences so that others may get some kind of hope that it does get easier in time.

Whether things get better or we get better at dealing with them doesnt matter, what really matters is everybody needs friends, real genuine good friends that care and Parent Power Leeds is full of new friends that you just havent met ....................... yet!!
