Facebook, Mario and autism

Charlie Taylor

Available for over a year

A Facebook group is helping Mares Carlton from Minehead understand her son's autism. She started the "Mario and Mummy Mares - Our Life With Autism" page to help her link up with other parents in a similar position and to document the challenges and highlights of bringing up an autistic child. Six-year-old George is obsessed with video game character Mario. Mares says she's grown to love Mario almost as much as George does!
