Daniel's Experience at Lego:
Daniel really enjoyed himself at Lego. It is the first time he has attended any social activity outside school without me so it is a huge step forward for him.

Amie and the Teen Hangout Group:
The groups have had a profound impact on Amie, especially her love for the Teen Hangout group. Discovering people with common interests has been life-changing for her. Last Thursday, she declared it the "best day" of her life, forming a connection with another teen named Kirsty. Despite struggling to communicate with anyone in school, Amie thrives in these groups.

Amie's Journey to Acceptance:
‍After attending a teen meet-up last summer, where she was initially quiet and mainly observed, Amie expressed feeling a sense of belonging and pride in being autistic. She willingly joined an autism class, returned to school after two years of homeschooling, and hasn't missed a day since. Despite encountering negative comments about the autism class, Amie approached her SNA and teachers, urging them to address the situation and protect her class, which feels like family.

Liams Confidence Boost:
‍Liam thoroughly enjoyed the group session yesterday evening, resulting in a significant boost in his confidence. This positive experience motivated him to enter his school class this morning for the first time in about six weeks, even if only for ten minutes. Despite the brevity, it represents substantial progress. Liam is hopeful about building on this in the coming week. Witnessing Liam's joyful face coming out of the group nearly brought tears of joy. He is not only proud of himself for managing some time in school today but is also eager to attempt attending a full class.
