Kerry and Liesje: Hopes and Fears
Friends Kerry and Liesje from Sheffield discuss the realities of caring for their autistic children.
Liesje started her charity 'Sparkle' to support families with autistic children, after struggling to get help herself when her son Jayden was diagnosed with the condition.
Kerry's son Harris also has autism and she and Liesje both worry about their children's future, especially if they're no longer around to care for them.
