one day she will look back with so much regret. She’s never present in the moment as she’s recording through her phone. He’s used to looking at her camera lense and not her eyes so that could be why he’s potentially struggling with eye contact. He’s a Bonny little lad and I feel for him if there are any developmental conditions or delays and she’s just too proud to get early support, because maybe she has internalised ableism? I’m disabled and have 2 disabled children, both also on the spectrum. I know the importance of early support but I speak as a mum without the money she has to get things quickly. Maybe she has seen doctors etc though? It’s not her personal medical history. We don’t discuss all of our children’s private diagnosis’, it’s not our place and just because she seems like she gives her life on social media, I really would respect if she’s respecting his right to divulge his business one day. I don’t think that’s the case though! I also think there needs to be better understanding of neurodevlopmental conditions and for someone with a big platform, they could make such a positive influence and awareness. I’ve spoken with many autistic adults who don’t like neurotypical parents banging on about their children’s autism on social media like it’s some sort of life sentence. Who knows
Also, children need some colour in their life. It’s positive and playful. Drab grey all over the house is hardly inspiring
