"Even at that stage, I had no idea of autism. So I might go to the nursery, something as simple as driving a different route. And he would scream and be so distressed. I'd have to drag him out of the car and take him into the nursery. And hey wouldn't understand why he was so upset. And everyone else would just go 'Oh he's two, he's having a tantrum'. And those comments used to grate and eat me up inside. I think weirdly my unconscious bias, it's a double edged sword, because part of my unconscious bias was going, you're doing something wrong. But the other side was, I knew something wasn't right as well. I just didn't know what it was. I didn't have the language or the knowledge to translate all these points he was struggling with."
