I really feel for the school. It must be impossible trying to balance the needs of all the other students against parents like her - surely she must accept that a diagnosis of xyz is not a free pass for appalling behaviour. If he can’t cope with attending a handful of lessons and behaving for that short amount of time then he needs to be in a specialist school, it’s completely unfair on the staff and the other pupils.
Absolutely this. And how on Earth will he cope at the college thing? I’m sure they’ll be expecting way more than the school.

So she found them "organically" and has asked them to do it for free for her to share on her page.. How embarrassing

Exactly - I find companies organically, then I contact them, pay them and if they do a good job I may recommend them to others or write a review online to help their business. She just wanted free covers. She developed into a full time influencer who thinks they are ‘famous’, entitled and that companies should gift them stuff for free in return for a mention. Wow! She could have easily used this service, made sure she was happy with it and then given that company a shout out on her insta account. Instead she contacted them, negotiated a deal and only now she’s getting it for free is she using their service. Let’s see if she’s happy with the end result. Well we all know the answer to that though don’t we?

I think as long as she withholds the truth about his diagnosis then she can control the narrative around how hard done by he is, poor H etc. If she was transparent and upfront then she might experience one too many people telling her she’s going about it the wrong way.

It’s bizarre to me though. Surely she isn’t letting her own son feel ashamed of his diagnosis (it looks fairly certain that he’s been diagnosed with autism with PDA traits)? So why not be totally clear and upfront, instead of treating it like a dirty secret?

Yes I agree. And also (cynical of me here I know) by not revealing the exact diagnosis she can 'appeal' to a wider range of neurodiverse parents and increase her followers 🙄

I think its more likely she isn't revealing the diagnosis as Hugo says not to. But, she wants to, so she is dripping enough info for her followers to know what it is anyway. So she hasn't lied to Hugo but has got her own way.

Im SO sick of her digs at School/Teachers. I work in a school and the sheer amount of "neuro diverse" we help nurture, protect, guide and also get a hell of a load of shite off is unreal!!! There isn't just precious H in this bubble of his school you know!!!

Rules are adhered too and followed by EVERYONE. No one gets special treatment as what does that learn them.in life??? They are "special" ...they need "more help". Totally not what the child needs. They need to be in this real world as Im sorry...life's pretty tit hard out there kids and your 1 year away from being in it!
Maybe her parenting skills needs meetings about too and stop pandering to his attitude to his Teachers!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

The constant grumbles about 'the system' are so naive. I find it quite absurd that she has a child that is clearly not getting much out of education and is highly disruptive and has plenty of cash to find a private set up yet she allows it all to continue as he wants to see his mates. If he's always excluded from class and has a different timetable then he's not really seeing much of them anyway is he?

Spot on! It just doesn’t make sense

I genuinely believe that she’s happy to play permissive parent, and campaign for H’s preference to stay in mainstream, because she’s a snob and she wants him to stay in mainstream too.

She’s a massive snob. It starts with her insistence on high end brands for all of her household stuff, and it ends with her not wanting her child to attend a PRU or SEN school.

She says she regrets the school SENCO took H off the SEN register in year 5*, but I bet she was happy at the time not to have “a SEN child”. She was happy to not pursue a diagnosis when he was much younger, and was only prepared to accept the stigma of a diagnosis when she realised she needed it for certain things. She’s still too snobby to be open about what the diagnosis is. If one of the facets of your Insta is to offload about your child’s neurodivergence, the least you can do is say what it is.

* She said this happened because the SENCO wanted to make their stats look better. What on earth does she mean? Considering every kid on the SEN register provides the school with extra funding from the local authority, it simply doesn’t make sense, from a financial perspective if nothing else, that a school would bump kids off the list 🤷‍♀️

Yes, that's true. Doesn't make any sense at all.

It’s one of those high maintenance cuts that might look good with a professional blow dry, but looks very different when you wash it and try to style it yourself. Not to mention her perm!

Yes, that's true. Doesn't make any sense at all.
I honestly think she’s fibbing or at least exaggerating. She’s extrapolated on her core belief that SEN is something to be ashamed of, and is acting like schools operate in the same way.
