@BenCrellin Well done for being so open, and Brave. My daughter was diagnosed with autism at 8 and hasn’t been to a day of school since. She is now 14.
Supporting her has opened my eyes to the spectrum and how I have some tendencies in some areas.
Good luck with your next chapter, Ben.
@FPL_CHEF I’m fortunate that Cleo presents ‘normal’ but she hasn’t spent a day in school in 4.5 years and we manage her very carefully making things tough. She’s 13 now any the big wide world is out there and she doesn’t have the skills to deal with it
@FPL_CHEF Mate, I can totally relate as much of the world and the people just don’t get it, which is fine, but to say they are SEN inclusive is just a lie.
I enter every venue with my daughter and have to scout it for toilets, quiet areas, and situations I know will trigger her. Exhausting
@HinduMonkey@Gemmabaggies Yeah, Sonja is left to wallow on her own. I’ve had annual passes for 6 of the last ten years - reckon I’ve visited close to 100 times
