Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Haley Graham : A Conversation on Mental Health, Autism, and Finding Your Way

Ultimately, we decided to withdraw him from school because I could see, I mean, anybody could have seen it. I mean, my son became very anxious, very withdrawn, quite low, I would say. And we took him out of school. There was just no, nothing else to do. I mean, there was no other answer. And I gave up work to home educate him.

And it was at that point, really, I thought, OK, I just need to try and make sense of this. So I started doing a relatively local psychotherapy training, but that was an adult training. And that was over a period of four years. And then I did that. And at the end of it, then I decided to go on and do a child training.

And that was driven entirely by my need, my desire to sort of make sense of things and also to help ourselves as a family.

So, I mean, we just sort of carried on the best we could. My son then, as an adult, he's now 27, decided that he would put himself forward for an ADHD diagnosis, which he has now. I think he would self-identify as autistic too. And I think that was, you know, that's been the change for us really, I guess.

And particularly, you know, the change for me is looking back at all those years and all my life really for myself personally and how much sense that has made our life together as a family. And I guess is the reason why I put these things out there because I know how much difference that made to me to have that understanding and has made to us as a family to have that understanding.

Yeah, so I did my first training, as I said, quite locally. And then I did another four-year training, sort of going up and down to London and did a child psychotherapy training in that. I suppose I had a desire to do something to help.

I think when I hadn't been able to get any help when my son was young, I'd sort of made that decision then that one day I wanted to try and set up a charity that would provide support for those parents that were struggling to find help.

So there's a huge number of people that just don't know where to go. Their children are struggling and they don't know where to go for help.
