Square Peg Have you noticed that expectations for children with SEND are low in every area except behaviour...?

When children are refusing to go to school, adults will often respond by telling them how vital attending school is, and how, without school, they will amount to nothing. Here's why this isn't a useful approach. 1/

My 15 yr old is also failing to attend school ! Does show up ! Late ! Or walks out ! School have put blame on me ! How is this fair or right ! #help #sen #Autism #ASD #ADHD #lost #anxiety #autistic #BeKind

Is being a parent of a autistic child hard?
Yes
That does not mean I do not want my son to be autistic
What I want is for the world we live in to be more accepting
That would make it easier for him.

Autism is NOT 'just a phase' that someone will 'outgrow'.

Half term ? Anyone have any ideas on what to do today ? #ADHD #autism #anxiety #autistic #parenting #sensory #MentalHealth #ASD #Southampton

Some autistic people are non-verbal
Non-verbal DOES NOT mean non- intelligent.

So many people are still uneducated about autism
Blaming and shaming the child and the parents when they misunderstand a childs behaviour,
This can create a stigma that can lead to parents and children feeling socially isolated .

My son is autistic
He is not broken
He does not need fixing.

Did anyone else think these were called dib dabs? Or just me?

Parents that fight for their child are iften labelled troublemakers.
If thats what it takes im proud to be labelled a troublemaker.
When you fight for your child.....
You fight for all the children that come after.

I said maybeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ADHD is not just something that young boys have. It also can’t be cured. These are such big misconceptions. A child with ADHD will always have ADHD. There is such a lack of understanding about how ADHD can impact somebody as an adult.
