Anne-Marie, a parent of two autistic children & PPIE panel member, shared: “It gives everyone immediate access to expert advice & peer support, rather than having to wait for a referral or just suffering in silence.”

Roughly sketching an overloaded child’s toothbrush for illustration practice and the minty smell of the toothpaste is SO strong! Small wonder some children recoil before the brush gets near their mouth #OralCare #Toothpaste
Hand with micropore tape on thumb holds a blue child’s toothbrush with a large dollop of red, white and blue striped toothpaste on top. In the background is a pencil sketch of the toothbrush and a rough star can also just be seen (part of a child’s fairy wand, but this is not clear in the picture)
