A TEAM of volunteers have come to the rescue of a young family who are in desperate need of a home for their autistic son.

The Lawrences have been forced to live in a mobile home – as they ran out of money to complete their customised house for seven-year-old Adam.

The youngster, who has sensory processing disorder, needs a room of his own which will cater for his needs.

His mother Annie said they have been overwhelmed by people’s generosity, after a GoFundMe page was set up on their behalf.

The mother-of-three told the Irish Sunday Mirror: “Adam was diagnosed with autism and sensory processing disorder when he was two. It means he walks around on his tippy toes, he’s very fussy with food and he’s non-verbal.
