my child is like this too. solidarity - it is full onAh yeah that’s really not right is it? Poor Alf, honestly anyone can see his balance and walking skills are waaay off. I know they’re all different but my 18 month old can full on sprint, jump, walk backwards, climb… which has its own problems because he’s also a maniac with no fear but even so…I wonder how the childminder hasn’t mentioned it at all, does he just sit down all day? I know some kids are just naturally lazier than others but he honestly looks like a new walker.
Thank you… isn’t it just!! It ages me, I swear grey hairs spring up overnight after a day out with him and I go to bed grateful there’s been no A&E tripmy child is like this too. solidarity - it is full on
I’m quite relieved you’ve mentioned this as I’ve always been reluctant to say I think Ash is on the spectrum. I know we have autistic members on this thread, and quite frankly don’t want to insult them comparing her what could just be twatness to ASD traits. I think Ash socially seems very awkward, very repetitive on certain things/topics, different obsessions like Alfie’s books. Emotionally she’s very stunted. I have an ASD child and these traits are familiar to us.I know the child of every parent with a tattle thread at some point is accused of being autistic.
im aware social media is not an appropriate way to diagnose either…
But there are signs of ASD for Alf - the delayed walking/unusual gait, lack of balance and coordination, repetitive language (ie learning letters/numbers/days of the week from TV and repeating them, but not actually talking a lot), lack of eye contact, possible food issues / struggles with tastes and textures, unusual sleeping patterns, his facial expressions aren’t particularly expressive a lot of the time… but I’m aware autism looks different for many people and we are ultimately just seeing snippets.
the reason I mention this - is Ash on the spectrum too I wonder.
many people (especially women) don’t get diagnosed/become aware of their own neurodiversity until they see it in their child(ren). Ie Christine mcguinness.
ashley has few friends / struggles to maintain friendships, is obsessive about certain subjects, can come across as quite blunt/matter of fact… could her eye fluttering be a way of coping with eye contact…? Sorry if this is offensive to ASD people.
How convenient, just in time for a Sunday 8pm announcement tomorrow.Her Gran’s met Baby Thumb! And Snoop is there
we’ll just file that under stuff that never happened shall we Ash..View attachment 2055116
Does she mean ‘phonic’?
Or is she teaching him the phonetic alphabet as in z for Zulu?
Also what the fuck is an adult alphabet
Increases the likelihood that she is actually autistic, given how often they co-occurAshley has said on a few occasions she has had an adult ADHD diagnosis. But I thought at the time it was another bandwagon for her.
It wasn’t a diagnosis professionally done was it? ImDid she actually get the ADHD diagnosis or wasn’t it just something she was convinced of?!
Yeah her prieooeere4mkkkkuuhhuruué4I think she can be classed as having a lockdown pregnancy but it says so much about her and how she feels about being a mum that all she missed was getting her nails done. That has F all to do with the new baby and being a parent. It’s something a 15 year old girl would have missed about lockdown.
What does him being white have to do with anything?Increases the likelihood that she is actually autistic, given how often they co-occur
Wow. Exceptionally privileged, rich white boy shows some signs of intelligence. I’ll alert the press!!
For what it’s worth, my daughter knew all of her uppercase, lowercase and sounds before she turned 2. Some kids just have a good memory for it (or they watch a lottttt of TV). Not a brag. She’s an amazing, perfect, very normal 4 year old…just like the rest of her class. I’d hold off on that MENSA application for now. Womp Womp.
I think she has self diagnosed. If she had a formal diagnosis, we'd never hear the end of it.Did she actually get the ADHD diagnosis or wasn’t it just something she was convinced of?!
Ha ha, I noticed Lucy didn't care less whereas Ash covered up the window the other day - just close your shutter!What is Ash trying to hide so desperately in that window/mirror? Lucy doesn’t care obviouslyIs the house making it obvious where she lives or something?
It’s just an example of his immense privilege, like upperclass and male. He’s at an advantage in life, not because he inherently should be, but because sadly that’s how society worksWhat does him being white have to do with anything?
