An autistic teenager's garden has been destroyed by the terrible weather during winter and has left him feeling "discouraged and disappointed" amidst the damage.

Dwayne Hards, LCN's founder and autistic resident, 14, has worked right through the summer on improving his garden and is feeling "less confident" in continuing because of the damage caused by the tremendous weather but said he will continue with his work in the summer.

The unforgiving weather had Dwayne's gardening equipment flying across his garden with plants dying; ornaments, tools, and greenhouses being broken; weeds taking over; and furniture ending up all over the garden because of the winds; as well as many other issues. This made Dwayne feel "upset".
