Susan had friends who were autistic and thought she knew a lot about autism.
Whilst working in Retirement Housing, Susan had a communication breakdown with
an Autistic Resident which led her to pursue Autism Awareness Training. Susan
attended an Autism Awareness Course delivered by Helen Storey MBE, founder of
Triple A Project. During the course, Susan realised that her own daughter,
Daniella could be Autistic. Daniella met Helen and became a volunteer at Triple
A, not thinking she was autistic, until she also attended the course and said it
explained her whole life. The path to getting a diagnosis was long and extremely
frustrating. After 2 years, Daniella was diagnosed Autism (Aspergers) and
passionately co-delivered Autism Awareness Training with Helen and others.
