Terri Loughman, 39, wants to share her story to provide hope to other women
When Terri Loughman was diagnosed with high-functioning autism during her twenties, she was told she wouldn't make a good mum.
But thanks to the incredible support she received from an organisation in Manchester, she and Riley now have an incredible bond. "Autism is a spectrum and everyone lies differently on that spectrum. I always wanted to have a baby since I was a teenager but I never thought it would be possible." "I was referred to the early help outreach services through the Sure Start centres. I believe if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be here now."
Through Sure Start, Terri was able to take part in classes, and Becky and the team helped her adapt so that she felt comfortable being alone with her daughter.
