Taking Part in Autism Research Projects
Переглядів 736 років тому
As we have an autistic son, our daughter Beth who is currently six months old is taking part in autism research projects for The University of Kent as well as The University of Cambridge. Beth is considered to be in a high-risk group for having/developing autism and as an infant that makes her an ideal candidate for taking part in research on autism.

Getting an EHCP
Переглядів 6 тис.6 років тому
I talk about getting an EHCP for William who has autism and does not cope in a mainstream school. It was a very long process for us and quite stressful too. I thought it might help other parents if I tell everyone how getting an EHCP panned out for us. It took around a year in all to get the EHCP finalized and it was a very bumpy road to it. If you have any questions please add them to the comm...
Nervous About Autism Stigma
Переглядів 3746 років тому
I discuss how I am feeling nervous about autism stigma on UA-cam. I have found it difficult to sit down and start talking about autism and how it impacts our family because there is still a lot of stigma surrounding being a parent of an autistic child and I wanted to talk about how it's holding me back from making content about it. If you experience the same kind of stereotyping I have discusse...
Paid for Breastfeeding?
Переглядів 7546 років тому
Should mothers be paid for breastfeeding? Today I'm talking about my thoughts on the study that pays mothers to breastfeed their babies. Sheffield University in England conducted a study in which mothers receive payment for breastfeeding their babies. The payment was in the form of vouchers received at intervals if mothers were still breastfeeding their babies at those times up to six months ol...

Переглядів 5116 років тому
Here I review the Bambino Miosolo all in one, pocket cloth nappy (Cloth Diaper). The Bambino Mio Brand is currently the most popular cloth nappy brand in England as far as I can tell. One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that the mio solo nappies are BTP (Birth to Potty) and adjust using poppers. If you wish to order them online you will find them on amazon here: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/pr...

How To Put On A Cloth Nappy (Cloth Diaper)
Переглядів 8 тис.6 років тому
In this video I show you how to put on an all in one cloth nappy (all in one cloth diaper). This is my guide on how to put a cloth nappy on and is open to change and suggestions. You may develop your own techniques as you become more experienced and find what suits your own baby. Cloth nappies (cloth diapers) are often described as bulky but by pinching them in at the middle the bulk can be avo...

How do I get rid of my sons EHCP as it as stopped him from having a school for well over a year
how are you today?
Thanks for sharing your experience. My son is in the same situation now, being home tutored, but has been out of school for 8 months since we moved out of Essex. EHC plan just came through last week and it's basically a copy and paste of his first EHC 6 years ago. We are in the process of appealing the council's decision to send him to a mainstream school. He was in a special needs school before we moved. Seems we are always having to fight for our kids.
This is the fear for my son. Our LA refused to do an assessment for EHCP for my son with mild autism, dyspraxia and many other little health conditions. The school SENCo have been amazing all the way through. We’ve just had the decision to assess overturned. He we are on Feb he leaves primary this year and I’m so scared he won’t get a decent school for September. Fingers crossed for all those who are going through this scary process ❤️ and hope your son found a lovely school
Hello 👋 are you going to upload or have you stopped UA-cam. Really like your channel, I hope all is well.
The same think happen for my son. We still waiting.. Waiting and waiting and christmas is near and we still waiting. Is so sad.. I can't sleep in the night because my son he is so unhappy.. He need school,he need to play with children's 😞
This was very helpful.... thank you. Im very new to cloth Mio nappy world and was having difficulty putting onto my baby nicely. I was just putting in onto her like a normal disposable.
Very helpful video. Thank you! And I like you gave her a modesty cover. Beth is a cute wee baby
Ps..UK Midlands here .btw we.d already had peadrition look into austism they sat on the fence that was when he was 7 . He.s now 13 this month .I've had to threaten to remove him completely if they don't help him .coz he.s so anxiety ridden..and scared ..n only wants to be with familie .of course the threats to remove him has really shaken things up .
Just come across this Ty so much .my child year 7 struggled then pandemic ..now in this process after he unable to return year 8 ..watch this space .Ty soo much hope you are all well
This is so helpful thank you so much - I've only got halfway through this video but it's so massively helpful thank you so much x
P.S. I didnt realise I'm signed into youtube not as my own name - sarah c.
i don't mean to sound rude but we have been trying with school for around 3 year they had started the forms then said they would do it then nothing and now they saying they don't believe its best that was last time we spoke about it (?September ) ANY ADVICE AS HE GOES TO SECONDARY SCHOOL NOT THIS YEAR NEXT AND THE SCHOOL WE WANTED HIM TO ATTEND NEEDS THIS TO ACCESS THE SERVICES WE PICKED THE SCHOOL FOR
My son is 18 now.. been trying to get help for him since he was 6. ended up home schooling til he was 13, put him back into school as advised by child services thinking he would intergrate . 8 months of hell and nearly suicide later i had to pull him again. Then tried college one year then the next then the next. Each time to this day he has tried and tried and the schools and council have failed him every time. He has chronic fatigue painful joints and asbergers. This year im trying legal action if the college and agencies continue with the neglect. Believe me I didnt think I had any fight left in me but I have. Even tho I now have developed the same illness and cannot do basic duties on a daily basis anymore.
My nephew no school waiting 2 years no school e h c p some age 6 14 now !! He’s had nothing.
I’d love to know your update for this story. Iv just done my own EHCP plan for my son.
Im just starting this journey EHCP trying to get one in place before primary next year... you vid was helpful as I too felt that the nursery were overselling his abilities, and that i will need to over emphasise his weaknesses but now i think i need to do more research. I believe he needs 121 in lessons and lunch times not at playtimes. I guess councils are thinking from a cost standpoint and so if a child is close to able then no ehcp which is my worry. Anyway thanks for th3 video
Just finalized my daughters plan after 1 year of a battle...keep going and be that pleasant but pushy parent that will not settle for anything less you feel your child deserves.. I am now up against a tribunal appeal to get the right school ..best wishes x
I hope you exhausted Kent's complaints process complained to the LGO about the LAs failure to adhere to statutory timelines
CAn you send me one of your cloth nappy please
Hoping you manage to get some quality sleep soon. Looking forward to your next video when you have time.
Thank you. :D
great vid...keep up the good work....i know beth will get better!!!
i watch your entire video thats sad that they refused to take him...but i know things will get better soon for both u and for him....merry Christmas to you and your family
Thank you. Merry Christmas to you too! :D
its not easy but i know god is there with u and your family and he will help get tru this...you have a very beautiful daughter
What a stressful journey you have been on, it serves to highlight how so many children are being failed by the systems set up to deal with their needs. If the tables were turned and it was you who was not providing your child with an education, you would have been in court by now. Such a shame that a child who already struggles in the education system is being failed and set back even further. I wish both you and William every success on this journey. Keep on fighting, with your determination to get him the education he needs I'm sure you will get there in the end.
Really enjoyed this video and it brought to light for me what other parents go through perhaps in silence. Please make more videos! You'd make such a good advocate for all those parents going through a similar experience.
nice putting that disclaimer out to prevent all negative thoughts some viewers may have
I love your video layout! Devil is in the detail and you have obviously thought of everything. I’ll watch the rest of the videos when I’m home. In particularly the cloth nappy!!! Soon to be parents and both having thoughts on our carbon footprint and how much we donate to landfill! 😊
Woofdog Thank you kindly. I must say though, having seen your videos I'm now buzzing with ideas and have been on a learning binge all day! I now know what B-roll is! I have some videos scheduled but after those I'm hoping to become less of a 'talking head'. Thank you for the inspiration :)
Woofdog oh and, cloth nappies are amazing. I highly recommend them! I also suggest you take a look at some eco disposables for the early days when everything is a bit crazy and then get your heads around cloth when things have settled.
Thank you for making this video, it's really important to see how the stigma affects the family as well as those dealing with it themselves. Please continue to make these videos, it will help other people to become more aware, to realise they aren't the only one who feel that way and to eventually beat this and other stigma.
Thank you kindly Alannah, I'm really glad you liked the video. I am making another one about my journey to getting Williams EHCP which will be out next Wednesday at 6pm. I'm hoping to make content that helps people going through similar things. :)
I think you are very brave. You can't be brave without being scared.
That's a very good point. Thank you for your support :)
That's great wat you're doing hopefully it motivates a lot of parents who may be going tru similar situations to remain positive and know that their not alone 😊👍🏿
Thank you. I have another video out later today so keep your eyes open for that :)
Keep It Quirky cool 😊👍🏿
Still it's an interesting question and I'm sure the study may address some of the issues detailed below. I will look on with interest. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
I'm not sure paying mothers is the answer. Mothers on low incomes claiming benefit top ups really wouldn't benefit as the government gives in one hand and takes away with the other. This would need addressing as without that a two tear system would develop as the only ones benefiting will be the middle and upper classes. Breast feeding mothers already save as they don't buy formula should that not be incentive enough. I also think numbers of mothers breastfeeding will not increase significantly until mothers have a major change in lifestyle. The demands put on mothers makes life for most busy, many mums have to return to work early because it is necessary. They are not present to Brest feed. Until major changes happen that enable there's mothers to have the option to stay home and feed or take baby with them to work these mothers will be excluded. Seems to me the only ones that would benefit from being paid are a small number who's lifestyle allows them to. There are so many problems to overcome to make it a fare system I personally can't see how a payment system could be fare to all. This is something you highlighted yourself with mothers who can't Brest feed. I feel this is a much bigger problem that perhaps you have considered.
Old Book End it is indeed a much bigger problem than I have highlighted here. Highly multifaceted and more complex than I’m able to understand I’m sure and certainly more than I can cover in a short video. An interesting discussion topic though. Thank you for your comments. I’m always open to hearing your views and gaining a different perspective beyond that of my own. X
Lovely video thanks for sharing, audio is a tad quiet though.
Thank you for letting me know. I have a new mic and clearly need to adjust its sensitivity a bit. :) I’m glad you liked the video overall though :)
Lovely well made ,informative video, I will look forward to the next one. Thank you for going to the trouble to make it. Beth is beautiful and so good.
Thank you kindly. :D
So informative, really helpful thanks ☺
Thank you :)
someone make this a meme
Omg! When I saw the little Petal run up and start fighting I gasped! I was riveted to the screen! This was totally epic! This was the cutest and bravest thing I've ever seen a hobbit do. I know something of haflings as I play a level 75 hobbit burglar on Landroval. Thank you so much for sharing.
what on earth... IMPOSSIBLE!
That is fucking awesome. I wish they randomly did things like this, like drop a legendary beast in the middle of Bree so that this could happen. Imagine all the lvl75 characters taking force, it would be epic.
@TheCreepingJenny I'm pretty sure that it's called Requiem for a dream
Nice, can't wait for f2p to go live
