We had to take our son, who is 5 years old and non verbal with autism, to children’s A&E last night. The experience we had was amazing. There was a Dr Aaron who was just fantastic, he was amazing with our son and also at involving us as parents in the discussion about what was going on. We have had a lot of experiences over the years with our son and health professionals and this Dr is one who is made for the job. The play therapist Christine was also involved who was amazing and is a huge relief for parents like us bringing our child to a medical setting. She is so empathetic and helpful with the needs of a special needs child. The staff in ED are evidently so busy and overworked but they were so amazing with us on a busy Sunday night.
