Normally I feel sorry for people that fall on hard times with money. Only 3 paychecks from being homeless mentality but she has wasted so much money during lockdown.
It is well known that autistics can often struggle with food and food aversion/different textures. It’s not weird just because your granddaughter doesn’t eat themWhy the heck is Wilby eating a pouch of baby food at two years old?!! My granddaughter is 18 months and when she goes out with her parents she sits up with a plate of proper, cut up food or they take her a sandwich. She hasn’t had baby food for ages. Bloody weird.
I know he's not really verbal, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand. I don't know why they just don't talk to him. When he's stacking his blocks they could be saying the colours or whatever, or when out for a walk "ooh look Wilby, there's a big lorry coming, it's blue isn't it" etc, instead she just films and snorts at himThe way W is looking at everything and taking it all in melts me! I just really wish R was just more natural with him, he looks to her all the time like he is looking for answers to questions in his mind and just gets “do you love it?” or one word answers. She needs a bloody good slap and a proper parenting course!
Please don’t take this the wrong way but please don’t use the term autisticsIt is well known that autistics can often struggle with food and food aversion/different textures. It’s not weird just because your granddaughter doesn’t eat them
Why? My son is autistic and I follow the advice from autistic adults as to terminology. He’s ‘autistic’ not autismPlease don’t take this the wrong way but please don’t use the term autistics
oh definitely. It makes me sad because there’s so many things she could be doing with him on that walk. So many other things to be doing at that soft play centre, Especially as she’s got the time to do itThere’s no denying Wilby is absolutely gorgeous. It’s his parents letting him down every single day.
Of course you and your son are totally entitled to use whichever phrase/terminology you choose but the group of young people I work with would be offended to be referred to as “Autistics”Why?

I work with adults with autism and I fully agree it's completely the wrong terminology, People with autism, autistic people, more acceptable, just.Of course you and your son are totally entitled to use whichever phrase/terminology you choose but the group of young people I work with would be offended to be referred to as “Autistics”
I’ll take that on board. Thank you! I don’t mean any offence, I checked on the group I use (with 90,000 members, of autistic adults and didn’t think the term was deemed offensive in any wayOf course you and your son are totally entitled to use whichever phrase/terminology you choose but the group of young people I work with would be offended to be referred to as “Autistics”
