So I actually came here to say this Exact same thing. The hard work only begins after an assessment. There is no magical cure, only a tonne of hard work that needs to be under taken by the parents. My son was assessed and flagged for ASD with his preschool and it came back that they couldn't really say until he us 5 if he indeed is Autistic. However he was also flagged by the PHN at 2.5 for gross motor and fine motor challenges and was diagnosed with bilateral coordination disorder. We have done over 2 years of OT and Physio and he has a dedicated 1:1 staff at his preschool. He is amazing and fantastic and frustrating and also very anxious and socially shy which we need to help with daily. Our assessments sent us home with work WE had to do daily! Oh and my husband works full time and I'm a full time nurse and we have a 2 year old so yeah cry away Caz! Praybe just bleeping get on with it, send your biy to school. Get a job and get a bleeping life

She does it because she is an attention seeking narcissist , pure and simple. Whatever is going on in the world is spun into a how it affects her, how sad it makes her , how she’s struggling to cope with it , any issues with her little boy are constantly spun into how it affects her , family gatherings like her brothers bday and Christmas she has to have some drama or meltdown to bring the attention back on her . The agonising back pain is rolled out when there is nothing else to get her attention but miraculously disappears when there’s an event or she is sitting eyef**king herself in the phone .
This is exactly it! She has too much time on her hands that she is looking for problems!!
She's having the assessment done by the psychologist she has had on her podcast?
That's such a weird thing to do and conflict of interest. I'm surprised the psychologist is ok with this?
Actually I'm not, as I'd already avoid any health professional who works with Caroline like the plague, but you know.

Can't stop thinking about how she felt that tattoos were "only for felons" 
The tattoo thing does show her mindset quite well I think; overthinking to the extreme. Which she acknowledges, and rightly so as it will be part of her legitimate anxiety she has struggled with.
I just wish she could see the effect this has on her poor son. Overthinking every tiny thing and reacting like it's a huge deal (which was evident right from the birth), finding problems and flaws in everything, overreacting to normal baby/toddler situations, under reacting to challenges (just giving in not trying to help C learn boundaries)
She isn't completely unusual in this, loads of Mums have these issues but they don't then have family and so called health professionals enabling it and feeding it. And ultimately, she feels her livelihood depends on continuing this cycle, so it's just going to continue forever until one day she wakes up and realises the damage she has done and that she could have stopped this, got a regular writing job, socialised with normal Mums, put C into a regular nursery from early on, listened to advice for any difficulties he faced, and attended proper therapy which educated, not enabled her (and preferably weren't part of her bloody podcast).
I shall now end my regular Caroline-based rant
(my toddler is napping, I'm avoiding housework).

you are a parent who cares, you are selfless and know that parenting is hard work!!!! That’s exactly it! It takes time, dedication, prioritisation! It can be really exhausting but that’s just it! It’s worth it, our kids are worth it, we love them and want to work hard to help them!!!She really doesn’t seem to grasp that, definitely doesn’t seem to like any sort of hard work, and has no clue it seems!!!
Clueless Caroline!
So I listened to the latest episode of the podcast. She made it clear, “let’s use my case as an example” to talk through her situation. One of the questions she asked “something I dislike is people telling me that I am the one making my son anxious” (paraphrasing but that’s the jist) and the psychologist responded in an extremely diplomatic and lovely way, that the parent does make an impact and used the analogy of putting your own oxygen mask first. That the parent needs to be able to regulate themselves first before helping. Essentially if Caroline is not regulated and super anxious, it will have an affect on him. Her response then was to talk about the two nights she had away recently and she came back all happy and was able to handle everything and how great C was. But the next day she felt overwhelmed again and it got hard again.
so in a nutshell, how is it not clear as day to her now, she needs to help herself first!!!
side note, her grammar and breadth of language isn’t great for a writer.

I've always thought her writing was very leaving cert higher level English core haha

Oh to clarify...that's not a compliment for a "professional" adult author
Has anyone noticed that C used to have what seemed to have very good speech when he was about 2, for his age and also compared to maybe 3 year olds. I feel he has really regressed..I can't understand a word he is saying in her latest story on Instagram, but I feel like ita because he isn't around anyone but her all day! She can understand the baby talk so he doesn't need to evolve his speech
That’s so true. There are so many knock on effects of not going to Montessori that you wouldn’t even think of.
Prob so she can tell everyone how he refuses to not have one (when she never encouraged him to eat without one and now it's routine)?
Very strange. But probably due to his sensitivities she would say.
That dinner in front of him is only what I could dream even my great eater would look at, my 4 year old only eats nuggets and meatballs! She has little worries if he's able for gravy and foods touching
I'm sure everyone has heard of the term adultising children- the babychino...dressing young kids mature beyond their years so they look more grown up.
I think Caroline does the opposite to hang onto him being small and almost "baby-fies"(if that's even a word) for him to have dependence on her more than I'd expect for his age. The questions of "do you love mammy" can't say I've ever asked any of my children that question.

Yes she seems to ask him those types of questions a lot, it's very strange. Sort of emotionally manipulative or something, at the very least it's incredibly needy and pathetic of her. I'd say the poor child doesn't know what to make of her, she's an awful bleeping eejit.
Only a narcissistic parent would ask their child questions like “how much do you love Mammy” 
. And as for the “solo parenting “/ glass of Prosecco post . 
. Every time Barry goes away she does passive aggressive posts to shame him for leaving her
