This study uses the autoethnographic method of research to examine the experience of accessing services for a child within autism services from a parental perspective. It is the reflection of the impact of personal experience, the journey of discovering differences within ourselves, and embracing the disabilities we may have while seeking support for a child in our care. There has been little research that examines the lens of growing up as a child with disabilities, raising children with disabilities, working in the field of social services, and supporting families that include children with disabilities. This autoethnography aims to provide a voice to the complex experience of accessing autism services, and the attitudes and challenges we experience as service navigators and as children within the social services systems.
