Claire:
How’s your nephew going? You said he got diagnosed recently?

Allan:
Yeah, last month. He’s eight now. It’s been a bit of a learning curve for all of us.

Claire:
Did you notice anything before the diagnosis?

Allan:
Sort of. He’s really focused on trains, knows all the Sydney lines. But he struggles with noise and changes to his routine.

Claire:
Is he getting support at school?

Allan:
Thankfully, yes. He’s got a learning support teacher, and he sees a speech therapist through the NDIS.

Claire:
My brother’s on the spectrum too, and support made all the difference for him.
