'No dinner and the kids know what Santa got them - it will be the best Christmas' Laura Guckian says the festive season can be "very challenging" for both her and her three kids.
Surprisingly, Leo was diagnosed with both autism and ADHD, often referred to as AuDHD, leading Laura to receive her own AuDHD diagnosis shortly afterwards.
Suspecting it might be genetic, Laura had her eldest son, Leo, 8, assessed - even though he didn't exhibit the same symptoms as Alex.
When her daughter Anna, 3, displayed similar traits to Alex, she was also diagnosed with autism at the age of two.
The holiday season disrupts their routines, and without school, Laura's children feel even more displaced than usual.
