Dear Mary, I just wanted to give you a huge virtual hug. I work as a speech therapist in Switzerland and I am in contact with a lot of authistic children and their families. I get to witness some of the highs (which when they occur are SO amazing to witness!!) and lows of being a parent to an autistic child (to any child really). I have so much respect for everything the parents I get to know do for their children and it‘s so so valuable for me as a person that works with those families, for families in those situations and for everyone else really to hear you talk about your feelings. ❤

[@MaryForester]

Thankyou! It’s definitely helped me a lot to hear others stories so I hope to be able to be a comfort to anyone else that may go through this X

[@crista3543]

You are in fact a professional mom 👏

[@MaryForester]

Apparently so! 🙈😂

[@ruthfowkes4712]

Mary ! My son was 3 in September and is autistic and also currently non verbal and I CANNOT tell you how much I relate to your feelings , the absolute emotion of feelin quite left behind . I have watched your videos before the kids and I respect those big emotions are soooo valid on the internet right now ! I'd love a friend who shares these values xx much love to you , I'd love to reach out xx

[@MaryForester]

Love to you too! It’s such an isolating thing to go through and makes such a difference to be able to talk with others who really get it X

[@deelot1]

It’s good that a formal diagnosis for autism was made sooner rather than later so the right support is in place. In my field of work, I have found adults who lived all their lives not knowing they had autism and it has caused a lot of complications and misunderstandings some of which may have been averted if they were diagnosed and supported during childhood. Also it takes longer for adults to be assessed for ASD via the GP.

[@MaryForester]

Definitely we’re very lucky

[@MaryForester]

Thankyou! Xx

[@AmeliaRane]

I was sent some Organic Basics stuff about 5 years ago, and I still wear them now! Especially one of their bras and a basic t shirt. Wash super well and so comfy 😊

[@MaryForester]

Ooooh sold! Thankyou Xx

[@sarahsselection]

Hi Mary, firstly I have to say that your hair looks lovely~ I live quite near Guildford so hope to book with you one day. Also, you seem like such a warm person; your little family is lucky to have you ❤

[@MaryForester]

Oooh amazing id love to see you! And Thankyou that is such a lovely thing to say Xx

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Hey Mary 🤗 sending you lots of love as always. I’m not going to say I know exactly what you’re feeling cause I don’t but I mentioned before about my nephew having selective mutism so I can definitely empathise with you - when he comes here with my sis and doesn’t speak for the whole time it does break my heart but I try to focus on the positives where I can, like if he communicates with me in other ways outside of speaking. He might sit with me, indicate what he wants by me giving him two options and he can point to the relevant hand per option….he has good days with us where he might speak a bit and then 99% mute days with us 😕 but he is getting better. I’m glad little Gabe is enjoying nursery and he ate the pizza, bless him. I’m looking forward to seeing your salon come together ☺️ you are doing amazing ♥️ xxx

[@MaryForester]

It’s so so sad when they’re so little and can’t communicate as we would’ve hoped, this is so helpful to share though so Thankyou! You’re an angel! X

[@10stratton]

❤looking forward to more❤❤

[@aez8]

You're doing amazing I have 3 ASD children and it's OK to have those up and down days. Xx

[@MaryForester]

Thankyou my darling-lots of love to you X

[@Nanakkii]

As much as I didn't want to be a Skims person (Kim doesn't need my money either!), I do like their underwear ("fits everybody" range is really good for light weight knickers that don't pinch and are super stretchy but have a cotton gusset/lining and the basic cotton range is great too) and little triangle bras. x

[@MaryForester]

Oh gaaaaah! They do look so good I think I’ll defo have to try something from there X

[@teaaa8339]

Now influenced to buy the Chanel water tint 😂

[@moonchild866]

Love your vlogs

[@MaryForester]

❤️❤️❤️

[@philippawood5047]

I have said it before but you are such a fantastic mum, Mary. Do you know the YT channel SBSK? It might reassure you to see some stories of other families with a member with autism/neurodivergence. Exciting to see the salon coming together. :)

[@MaryForester]

This is so lovely of you to say Thankyou Xx

[@opodobed]

That's totally a mom's hack - my friend told me to have a small drink not too late 😂 so you can get through it till next morning b😅

[@elenaizquierdo9060]

❤

[@dianeargentino1320]

I had to return the skims bras I bought the triangle one and other one. I bought a medium I’m a 36c and when I bent over my boob would fall out.

[@MaryForester]

Oh ideal 😂

[@Itsunreliable]

Hi Mary, I have quite a bit of hair loss on the top of my head to the point I kind of have to have a huge side part, I'm only 27 and it's really getting me down, I was just wondering if you had recommendations on any products I should use? Thank you!

[@MaryForester]

I would actually recommend seeking out a tricologist, hair loss in that area can be tough to treat with over the counter product and can be hormonal so a tricologist will be able to give you an idea of what’s going on inside, what diet changes/supplements could and how best to improve it with product-hope that’s helpful! If you’re near London Philip Kingsley is great, I know it’s such a tough thing to deal with but a tricologist could really help

[@Itsunreliable]

@@MaryForester thank you Mary, I appreciate this so much ❤️

[@MaryForester]

@@Itsunreliable ❤️❤️❤️

[@teneshaanderson4761]
