Big Competition Time – Design me a costume! | AutismAmazon
https://autismamazon.wordpress.com/2015/03/17/144
Big Competition Time – Design me a costume! March 17, 2015. If you follow me on Facebook you’ll know that this weekend I went to Em-Con. For those that don’t know Em-Con is a Sci-Fi geek-fest in Nottingham and it was lovely to let my inner-geek run free for the day. It set me thinking that, although rare, I do go to several events throughout the year where I could spread autism awareness by donning my Autism Amazon persona for the day ………… but, what to wear? For your children to use. Step four – sc...

A Week of Firsts and Feels | AutismAmazon
https://autismamazon.wordpress.com/2015/02/13/a-week-of-firsts-and-feels
A Week of Firsts and Feels. February 13, 2015. Well, like many autism parents I approach school holidays with dread. The change in routine, being almost housebound for the duration and the fact it’s just me and Whirlwind for most of it – it’s not surprising sleep patterns are disturbed, snappiness takes over and meltdowns are a daily event…….and that’s just me! 8211; today was my respite day and Whirlwind’s 1:1 took him to Wheelgate and I caught up on some bits around the house. Due to the cold...8211; i...

Backhanded Praise | AutismAmazon
https://autismamazon.wordpress.com/2015/02/10/backhanded-praise
February 10, 2015. Those compliments that, to us, just don’t feel like compliments but more like a reminder that we live a different type of reality to them. 8220;I don’t know how you cope, I could never do what you do” – really, like there’s an option? What do you expect me to do, send him back for a refund? Tell me what he’s done at school? Explain how he’s feeling? Let’s just say cinema visits are now a no-no unless gags are made socially acceptable! Not just a little bit? February 11, 2015 at 5:34 pm.

https://autismamazon.wordpress.com/2015/02/12/supporting-my-local-autism-group
Supporting my local Autism group. February 12, 2015. We all know that autism services are being slashed to the bone, it’s being left to charities and other autism parents to fill the gaps left behind. I’ve been lucky that we have a really fantastic local group Awareness For Autism. For every 1 you donate through this GoFundMe. I will allocate a ticket number then at the end of February all numbers will go into a hat (or tin, or pot – depends on what’s to hand! A Week of Firsts and Feels →. Big Competitio...

Still Taboo | AutismAmazon
https://autismamazon.wordpress.com/2015/02/19/129
February 19, 2015. Nobody in ‘authority’ seems to care about whether it’s safe for me or Whirlwind while they all continue to pass the buck about who can or will provide services and support. I’m sorry if I offend anyone but on days like this I really can’t ‘see the positives of autism’, today I hate autism and what it’s doing to me and Whirlwind. I’ve written in more depth previously about the abuse some autism/PDA parents suffer at the hands of their child, The New Taboo. Trying to follow him or ‘...

Forced onto my knees to beg for support. February 24, 2015. Re blogging this from Faithmummy.wordpress.com. This is the reality for the majority of families with autistic children, every department passes the buck to the next, years on each waiting list just to be told you ‘don’t meet the criteria’ and laughably little support or respite. Here are some examples:. You see apparently they would not ‘add value’ to what he already receives, which in. Big Competition Time – Design me a costume! Natalie wood o...

Why being an autism parent is akin to being a house elf! February 9, 2015. In common with most autism parents the extent of my ‘social life’ is conducted through social media, most notably good old Facebook! Over the past couple of years I’ve made some fantastic friends who I view as surrogate family, we’ve laughed together, cried together,. Made plans to kidnap male hotties for our very own island getaway if one of us wins the lottery. 8230;…well, you get the idea! 630am rise and shine! 915am leave earl...
