Unfortunately, when a fault occurs in a transformer, it can develop catastrophically and failures are usually very expensive, often resulting in the loss of what is the most expensive plant item in a substation [1].

Seventy-five parents of children (aged 6 months– 18 years) with ASD diagnoses completed the Family Quality of Life Scale. Forty-five parents from the original surveyed cohort, also participated in semi-structured interviews. Parents’ perceptions of their child’s disability were influenced both by their cultural background and by the limited and expensive, pre- and post-diagnostic services available. Longer waiting times to diagnosis were associated with lower emotional well-being and perceived disability-related support. Clinicians are encouraged to become part of the support network for parents of children with ASD, to help parents to adjust to caring for their child.
