The Dear Ivy Project is a collection of welcome videos by autistic folk from around the world, to newly discovered autistics.
Dear Ivy was developed by Tink McMullen aka Faerlie Autey, when her niece Ivy was diagnosed.
There was a lack of positive information available to share with Ivy and her family, and very little from actually autistic people. This was a very similar experience for Tink and her family way back in 1998 when she received her initial dx along with her eldest daughter.
So Dear Ivy was born.
All involved with this project have given permission for it to be shared so please keep it going. We would all love for you to add a piece of your own when sharing and to tag _faerlieautey_ when doing so.
It will be amazing to see this travel and give families and newly discovered autistics their sense of community.
