Yeah but that’s why I’m saying you could possibly use it as a teachable moment since you, yourself are autistic. And I know my perspective from my nephew is valid as I’ve been involved first hand but fair enoughYes when it is autistic voices who know exactly what it’s like to autistic and therefore valid. Most of these comments are actually untrue and just the opinion of the OP which is damaging. Thank you.
They all get sucked into the influencing dream but it’s not as easy as it seems and given we can see their real lives, when they’re trying to promote stuff it doesn’t seem as genuine that they’re living well, if that makes sense.I think it’s sad how at the start of the show Chloe, Amber and Sassi all seemed to have goals in life regarding working and now they all only seem to care about being influencers. Sassi was a proper little grafter at the start as well
We don't even know if Brooklyn actually has autism, so don't see how what I have said in my recent post that you responded to could be deemed as damaging to the autistic community.That’s fine, it’s just extremely damaging to the autistic community to have this mind set though.
Ohh my I would never have described Amber as intelligent. Quite the opposite infactAgree - Chloe and Jordan have and have always had, the only table set up with both natural parents together and involved stable (one side still married), grandparents
All of the others have multiple divorces grandparent level some didn’t know their dads (Birmingham girl with autism), some grandparents have had multiple layers of marriages (Dylan siggers dad, Megan s-f mum, Mia’s dad, both of ambers parents). Poor stability / relationships then the mums replicating straight away poor choices and father relationships ending usually 6-12m after birth. Not great at all for children to grow up in.
I feel sorry for amber. At face value she always struck me as the naturally cleverest of all the mums shown. It’s a shame she can’t get her mental health up, or meet a stable father figure boyfriend, or have that strong supportive mum/dad to boost her up. Feels a bit like she’s always drowning with nothing to hold on to.
See I get were you’re coming from. Like I get peeved off when people go on saying they’re dyslexic because they’re behind on their reading and spelling and at school but they would say “yeah, my mum and dad said I have dyslexia so I’ve got dyslexia and the words move” but it just seems to be the norm to go down this route of putting something on it then looking into it. Like I’m glad Amber is getting Brooklyn assessed so it is a formal diagnosis. But the thing is people don’t fully understand these conditions and just go by the popular symptoms/traits they have and automatically assume it’s that when there’s more too it.We don't even know if Brooklyn actually has autism, so don't see how what I have said in my recent post that you responded to could be deemed as damaging to the autistic community.
Amber herself was initially leading more down the ADHD route, as very often children with ADHD have traits of impulsiveness, hyperactivty & low concentration, which are often very easy to spot while in a school setting. I'm also aware all children with ADHD do not necessarily poses the same traits, but thoughs are the most common characteristics. It's also actually quite sad how automatically a misbehaved child will get straight labeled as possibly ADHD.
Amber herself has spoke how Brooklyn has been assessed before,so I'm just wondering what was the outcome of that assessment. Amber is also struggling herself, so her moods aswell will definitely be rubbing off on thoughs kids, plus her home life doesn't really have much structure, so these factors can definitely contribute towards Brooklyn behaviour. Had she & Ste atleast tried to explore varies different avenues with regards to their parenting skills then I would honestly say fair dues to them.
I'm not trying to be disrespectful all I'm saying is sometimes people really need to explore all avenues before predominantly seeking a diagnosis
I am also very familiar with Children whom have ADHD, as In my line of work I have come into contact with several.
Thank you glad somebody can relate to what I am saying. Also look how Brooklyn got upset when his misunderstood what Amber was saying, and thought she said how he was misbehaved in school.See I get were you’re coming from.

I wouldn’t say Blackpool is very poor. In my work the department for ASD and adhd has a two year waiting list in general and it has gotten long since lockdown. We’re lucky though because the kids that are under Camhs for other stuff like depression, anxiety etc due get prioritised but we have lower services such as charity services that do 6/8 week parenting course for the parents waiting for their kids to be accessed.I don’t think Brooklyn has adhd. There’s a test you have to do for this first, the Woodcock-Johnson test which is a bit shit tbh but it’s the first port of call after a doctors referral. If this graph doesn’t show the traits in so many areas or settings then the assessment can be continued with a psych depending on where they are in the country (diff doctors etc). To me, Brooklyn shows some of the typical traits of adhd (the stereotype traits) however if he’s passed the graph test they would be unlikely to continue down this avenue. It’s possible he is on the autism spectrum which I know less about apart from I do suspect that myself and my daughter are on there somewhere but I know nothing about diagnosing it. It does annoy me when people excuse their childrens bad behaviour as adhd because it’s actually quite hard to get a diagnoses. My daughter was assessed for 7 years back and forth before being diagnosed as severe. Brooklyn (IMO) displays the stereotypical traits of adhd on screen so in that case his graph scores would match up and produce enough evidence to progress with assessments. So either he has been dismissed for adhd or Blackpool CAMHS is very poor which is also likely, for the amount of time it’s been going on. Amber says she waiting for this and that, if it were me I’d be badgering them all the time if I had the time (no job). I do think Amber is depressed and this is probably why she isn’t pushing and why she’s not really bothered about the house etc.
Sorry didn’t mean it like that, there’s been so many complaints about CAMHS and personally in my area they are brilliant. It was just looking at all options, if people are on waiting lists etc. i didn’t mean it was likely Blackpool was poor although it looks like thatI wouldn’t say Blackpool is very poor.

It’s completely fine, I’m not sure if they work the same way as we’re I work as I know here the adhd and ASD departments are separate to CAMHs so I’m assuming it’s the same in Blackpool. Amber only mention during one of the lockdowns so it’ll probably be likely if he doesn’t get assessed in the series he’s probably due it end of this year start next year that’s if there waiting list is similar to the service in my work and the referral was only done during the lockdowns.Sorry didn’t mean it like that, there’s been so many complaints about CAMHS and personally in my area they are brilliant.

Bad choice of words on my part.
