Sarah Grace Adams
 

S.G Adams is a mother of three children, two boys and one girl.  She spends her days looking after her family and works at night.  She is also in the process of writing a book although she is unsure if she will publish it or simply keep it for herself and her closest friends.  Currently studying a Bachelor Degree in Social Science Sarah aspires to become a psychologist/counsellor.

 After suspecting for several years that she may be on the Autism Spectrum and knowing all her life that she didn't quite fit she sought a diagnosis.  In mid 2012 her suspicions were confirmed when she was formally diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome.  Her description of the realisation was that it was as though a light had been turned on and all the things in her life that didn't add up began to make sense.  Why she never felt like she fitted in, her unusual gait, her extreme discomfort in social situations and her constant wrestles with anxiety....

As a mother of three, working part time and studying life is very hectic and routine is essential.  Now Sarah is actively involved in autism pages on Facebook and spends much of her time offering advice to those who do not know where to turn with questions regarding the autism spectrum.  This has fueled her desire to begin studying as she was shocked and disappointed to discover that while services and awareness for children with autism is growing, facilities for adults are significantly lacking.  It is her wish to fill this gap in anyway she can recognising that adults need help just as much as children do.
 

Sarah says that 'Early intervention programs are a great thing, but adults need just as much assistance, especially those like me, who were not diagnosed until they were well and truely into adulthood.'
