Hi everybody, newbie here but not to forums, I have been a carer for over 20 years for my wife and wont change a minute of it, well maybe one or two minutes.
I have joined as my daughter said I need to share a poem I wrote a few years back about being a carer, but I shall be staying a while anyway.

Hi Chris and welcome.

Have you posted your poem elsewhere?

I care for S, who is 28. (I have cared for him since he was 9.) He has classic autism, epilepsy, IBS & sensory modulation difficulties. When he is anxious his behaviour can be challenging, he communicates using a Dynavox.
