    So brave to talk so openly and just how hard it is on the parents. We are all just people who are just trying to muddle through and make the best decisions possible. 💜💜💜

      It's the risk an adult takes when they decide to have children. You can have a child who doesn't have a condition but is an absolute nightmare. Choose an easier life, stay childless

    Me and my wife was lucky and my son was diagnosed pretty quickly but it took me a while to get my head around it all.
    Since he started going to school we can’t believe how far he has come and it’s an absolute joy to see him grow and learn new things.

    My son has autism and his friend who also has autisms mam was telling me that he has a problem with crying babies. They were on a bus and a baby was crying none stop. He was getting so worked up, that they had to leave the bus way before their stop. As they got off and passed the screaming baby, he shouted at the mother and told her the baby was ugly! His mam was was beyond mortified and apologised to the mother. People just don't understand what we go through. Bus journeys normally turn out to be a nightmare.

    There is an American lead team of people working around our country called Project Search.
    They teach young and older children with conditions which "normal/everyday" schools cannot or will not deal with.
    These people are brilliant and deserve help and support from those fortunate enough to be able to give it.
    Those in late teenage years are given training and help to find jobs which are paid.
    We under value the skills that children/young adults with difficulties can offer us.I know that some from Project Search youngsters have gone on to great positions in the workplace.
    Well done project search.

      We have to look behind the words being used to what’s actually being said, and nothing about what Paddy or Paul is saying suggests that either feels that autism is ‘wrong’. People’s choice of words in everyday conversation are often indicators of meaning rather than direct signifiers.
