My best mate has just had a daughter (twin) confirmed as being Autistic. In my working life I am currently employed in an DDA case concerning a man soon to be a pensioner.Hello everybody. Just catching up. Oh @Sassy Colombian I feel for you. I know however that you will make the right decision for your family. Glad you had a good holiday @Armaghtoffee Welcome home.
Came back from Liverpool this afternoon. Managed to see all three nephews and my great niece. She seems to be showing significant traits of autism but because she is so young (18 months) there isn't much that can be done at the moment as regards any kind of diagnosis. . Her Mum and Dad seem to be in denial at the moment - which I completely understand. However there is help available within the family. My brother's partner is a special educational needs teacher.
I nearly melted driving home. The air con in my car is rubbish. Came up the M6 which is much prettier than the M62/A1 route. I'm still in awe at how much of a difference dialysis has made to my Dad's health. It is like magic.
Here's to a good week for everyone x
On a holiday flights, a family with 2 kids had their ‘Autistic’ lanyards on to expedite the queues and that is a great initiative. Those kids engaged with me completely at the airport, very chatty and no barriers.
My best mate’s kid isn’t vocal but give her the alphabet blocks and she literally does it ABC or ZYX but always in perfect order.
My working life is a person who has me Googling words for meaning from his speech as it’s beyond my knowledge. I try to remember the word to Google yet while following the conversation.
Rightly or wrongly, for me, Autistic is just a big huge understood label.
