Thats what we have been asking for all her life (private), no doctor can determine what is actually wrong with her (hence they cannot give it a name), but hey ho, she gets on with life, we get on with life, but i would not be without her.
I've got a mate with a brother like that. They just don't know what to call it. Why are there so many more autistic/ disabled kids these days anyway? CIA plot I reckon.
Cheers irish, sometimes i may come across as a complete **** ( i suppose this is my outlet in life ), but family allways comes first, even though she is @ 20 the youngest of my 3 kids, i love her to death. **** getting sentimental now.
I know Still shouldn't have got sacked though. Some people ie. yanks blame it on mercury-poisoning. Apparently there's too much of it in our diet eg tuna, and that's why there's miles more disabled kids these days.
I used to work a lot with kids who have autistic spectrum disorders, mostly aspergers. Sadly the quality of diagnosis, support and treatment you get in the uk is very much dependant on where you live. as to why do I come on to not606, good question , Ive absolutely no idea I need to rethink my life.
no chief , where I worked we`d mostly see kids who had kinda slipped through the net at first, maybe struggling at school or socially and obviously, as you know that doesnt happen too much with those kids who get referred to as " classic autism ", probably one good thing is that those kids tend to get picked up early and get more of the help they and their families need. Are there good organisations `round your way ?
It wasn't that long back when everyone with a learning difficulty was blanketed with the term dyslexic and those with mild autism/aspergers was simply called that weird kid that gets bullied. Future generations will look upon us as a barbaric and inhumane bunch of primitives ...there's nothing new in that, it just pisses me off that we place trans-national corporate profit and warfare arms way above human care.
That's true. My lad was diagnosed before his 3rd birthday. He goes to a good special school and we get respite care from a local charity for a few hours a week. We're lucky in that respect.
