Them: You don't look autistic

Me: My autism doesn't really look like anything. It's mainly just me being anxious about things. Can't eat safe food. Anxious. Someone too close to me. Anxious. Have to do small talk. Anxious.

Them: You don't look anxious

Me: I hide it REALLY well

@Kathryn57105044 @Teacherglitter @darynsimon Same here, with my son. The constant battle to get support is beyond exhausting.

@Glitterygutsx When I was in hospital for stoma surgery, nurses on the ward told me to wait for specialist stoma nurses to be on ward for any support/guidance. surgery 2yrs later &because I was admitted with a stoma it was assumed I would be independent with it even when struggling post op

[Sophie Blacklaws @doph1981]

@Glitterygutsx Yes but this was not my experience at all

@ghani1_a It makes such a difference knowing you are there if he needs you. Not that he always asks when he does 🤦🏻‍♀️. But it’s such a comfort as a parent of a child who suffers as much. Thank you

[Sophie Blacklaws @doph1981]

@Teacherglitter So glad to read this. My anxious one who is the same age as E, has a Mrs G. She is also an amazing pastoral leader. Makes so much difference~ @ghani1_a

[Sophie Blacklaws @doph1981]

@Teacherglitter Yep. Had the box set. It’s now in my younger son’s bedroom having spent a few years in my older son’s room

@ManorHighPE Well done boys. Thank you for providing these opportunities for them

[Sophie Blacklaws @doph1981]

@andrewg24190595 Happy birthday @Jimbob95goon from Tommy and all of us

[Andy Cyril Guy @andrewg24190595]

Give away time!!! James has decided to give 3 of these away to either a swimmer or a club. 1 X National gold medal, 1 x JG hat and 1 signed pictures of James. Ideal for a Christmas present. Please follow, like, comment your reason why you should win and retweet. GOOD LUCK 💪

[Sophie Blacklaws @doph1981]

@andrewg24190595 Tommy has long been inspired by James - most notably by a FaceTime call during lockdown when he broke his arm- he absolutely idolises him and uses sayings James has said to him when he races. He would love this so much

@ManorHighPE Thank you. I’ll make sure to ask my son on a Friday. Earlier today the website was still displaying last week’s timetable and it wasn’t in the weekly email this week that I could see. Good to know re Friday tutor time- we can prompt at home. Thank you
