Luke's story

asd_success_aalpsmids

“ Just this week Luke phoned me for the first time ever. Camille was intuitive to notice how Luke was “being different” in asking for “mummy” and holding her hands, she asked Luke if he wanted to speak to me and he replied “yes” for me to pick up the call and hear Luke’s noises on the other end was a moment of pure joy I will never forget”
