This is our daughter Cameron; she is one of seven in our family. We knew from when she was younger that she was different to her siblings, we fought to get her diagnosed and it took two attempts and then finally she was diagnosed on the autism spectrum. When you look at Cameron you wouldn't know that she has autism and that's the problem, that people don't realise it's a hidden disability. She loves musicals and her favourites are Grease and Mamma Mia, she knows every word. We are so proud of her. People need to know more about autism, especially in girls, and schools need to be taught more about it too.
