A mother whose son took his own life urges other parents to 'keep loving and keep talking'.
Sharon said Leo was "so very clever" and that his school described him as "their top student"
Whenever we went anywhere as a family on the train we didn't need to look up timetables and maps as we would just ask Leo to tell us which station we had to go to and where to get off, and what time it was and he would always do it. We both loved sunsets so would go for walks together and just stand there quietly side by side. We loved the stars.
I told him how much I loved him, that he would always be accepted, that nobody wanted him to be different and that we would help him to find his way and help him with his anxiety, and I hope I did that.I don't think I realised the extent of what people on the spectrum call "masking". We went straight back to the crisis team [that had been treating him] and he was given a counsellor and a psychiatrist.Sharon has created a book that is full of memories and photos of LeoHe'd been unwell and in a bit of a crisis on the Monday night; he died on the Friday.
