As Tory faces the myriad challenges of raising her autistic son, she is forced to confront the harsh realities of a society that often falls short in its promises of support and justice.
Breaking through the tumultuous landscapes of education, healthcare, and the legal system, she discovers the disheartening gap between service, family, and community. Tory's story sheds light on the systemic failures that hinder rather than help, and the relentless spirit that is required to navigate these obstacles and advocate for the rights of our children.
"As a mother of a son diagnosed with ASD, I have embraced the role of home as our family's primary place of education. My approach to parenting and education is centred on providing children with the practical tools and resources they need to thrive. I believe this is the antidote to the speed-living and the mental health crisis we are seeing in our children. 'The Magic Of Not Fitting In' is a reflective account of how we came to be here."
