This story
School caused Ollie overwhelming stress, leading him to scratch his hands until they scabbed over and struggle to sleep. After receiving an autism diagnosis, he began working with an early intervention coach named Anne, who used art to help him explore his feelings and develop coping mechanisms. Now Ollie sleeps better, feels happier, and looks forward to going into school.
