Dear Autism mum,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We’re so pleased to hear that your son received attentive and compassionate care, especially during what must have been a very distressing time. Our team understands the importance of responding quickly and sensitively to the individual needs of children with autism and global developmental delay, and it’s reassuring to know that you felt supported and not like a burden, regardless of how busy the department was.

Your feedback is a valuable reminder of why we do what we do. We’ll ensure your kind words are shared with the team involved in your son’s care, they’ll be so grateful to know their efforts made a difference.

We hope your son is recovering well, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any further support.

Warm regards,
