Don't forget kids. You don't need GCSEs . Look how well Rachel has done with no qualifications.

Oh I forgot I actually saw an Autism report the other day that had levels on it. First time in my 20+ years in Paediatrics I've ever seen the levels used.
And yes it was a private diagnosis, not an NHS one.

My kids have done very well in theirs and then their A Levels then further education. I suppose from a young age we encouraged them and they weren't encouraged to be disruptive at school neither were they allowed to roam the streets, smoking, drink, drugs. She thinks she is their pal and is a crap mother blaming everyone but herself

Not everyone is academic, but she doesn't ever seem to support them in their education in any way. Although the school system has it's faults, we are privileged to have a free and good schooling system in the country, but she's always focused on the fact that school is something to get through, not something to embrace. I think from memory Lula passed one of her GCSEs when she didn't even attend one of the exams, imagine what she could have achieved if Rachael had supported her to go. She said herself that neither Seb nor Betsy are doing anything to do with the qualifications that they got at college - why? Betsy is travelling and making her own life, which is fab, but what did she really want to do? I would say it's fine as long as they're happy, but it's doubtful any of them are really in that house of horrors.

The thing is children are told to pick a career far too early before experiencing anything, and often deviate later on. I think Betsy's got the right idea, having fun exploring, part time jobs to fund her travel before she no doubt eventually settles down into whatever she wants to do. 16/18 is so young to decide what to do with the rest of your life!

The problem with Rachael is she doesn't support the children into making those choices - this is evident through Betsy, who has changed beyond recognition almost, since leaving the UK and leaving that household behind.

Why is she posting her poor son having a meltdown for the internet. It’s a crime how she ignores their inability to consent in favour of attention and views (in the guise of awareness).

She always looks so pleased when Wilby melts down - almost smug.
If I were Wilby and saw her pulling that face it would enrage me to the point where I’d want to throw one of my brand new dinosaurs at her head.

When Wilby said “I’m an autistic kid” 😢😢
How many times has he had that drummed into him??
When my youngest was diagnosed with ADHD/ADD we didn’t even make a fuss. We told the school and asked for it to be kept quiet as I didn’t want him labelled and as he grew older he would say himself “ADHD isn’t an excuse for bad behaviour” if he ever got in trouble for being a menace with his mates!
It’s like she wants him to be labelled and have a victim complex - she’s setting him up for failure! 😢

I noticed this also. It will of course be appropriate for some children to be aware of their diagnosis, to understand the reason they see the world the way they do, but Wilby probably doesn't even know what it means.

Was it even a meltdown, or a birthday boy who has had lots of sugar and excitement and is now a bit overtired and overwhelmed? He stops crying and sees if she's still paying attention, I'm not 100% sure a child in an autistic meltdown can switch it on and off like that?

He’s NOT autistic. He’s spoilt and pandered to. He’ll be a pain the a to them when his ‘cuteness’ (I don’t find him cute at all) goes

No child in a true autistic meltdown can stop, check they’re still being filmed/getting the attention they want, then carry on.

They are failing W massively.

If she wants to see autistic meltdowns and how life with a true non verbal autistic child (not L and W level autistic 🙄) looks like then I’d happily let her spend a day with me and my daughter.

She hasn’t a clue.
