Allison Edwards - The Onset of and Living with Autism
Polly Tommey with Allison Edwards on Autism One Radio - First Broadcast on 28th October 2008
Polly chats with Allison Edwards about how she has dealt with her (now 11 year old) son Jonathan developing and living with autism. Allison is a prominent and articulate campaigner and mother involved in raising the awareness of and knowledge about autism throughout the UK. Allison talks to Polly about what she has learned about supporting life with autism and how she has not been foiled in gaining access to the most senior politicians in the country. These have included both prime minister Gordon Brown and his predecessor Tony Blair - although as she explains, she has become politically disillusioned by the experience in each case. A lively and key discussion not to be missed!
