A Nottinghamshire family are hoping to remove the 'glass screen' of autism by raising money for potentially 'life-changing' treatment for their son.
Max Brett was diagnosed with autism at three years old. It is so severe that he is not even able to speak to his parents, Rebecca and Ian.
His mum and dad, from Sutton-in-Ashfield, said it felt as though they "had lost him a little bit" when he started to struggle communicating around the age of two.
