Update: 2020-07-05

Description

Tracy - has 3 children, the eldest has autism and ADHD, the middle child is neuro-typical and the youngest, who is only five years old, has been permanently excluded from school. Tracy knows that her youngest has Pathological Demand Avoidance but her local borough does not recognise PDA, so he cannot get the diagnosis. Tracy talks about the lack of understanding and support from the professionals she has had to deal with during this crisis and how she hasn’t stopped fighting to get her child into the right educational setting.
