Verbatim
“Access to confidential, independent support should be a normal part of working in professional football, rather than something people only seek when they reach breaking point.”
“It is also a powerful example of how neurodivergence can affect an entire family, including parents who may only begin to recognise their own traits through their children.”
“Parents will often know that something is not quite right even if they cannot put a label on exactly what is happening. Lucy's story shows what can happen when a child's needs are properly understood and the right support is provided.”
