Being able to effectively communicate does determine disability otherwise we would not have specialist schools šŸ¤” as an autistic adult and parent of autistic children, communication plays a big part.

Also we would not have EHCP... I'm sorry but your wrong, having a child that can talk compared to a child that can't are very different, the levels of care are different, I have both, and I feel non verbal kids get a raw deal, they need more support and more time.
You have a really disappointing view that your putting across as facts yet you are the one in the wrong. This point of view is annoying, I'm fed up of people having this ableist attitude. The first point you made is false. 'Being able to effectively communicate does determine disability otherwise we would not have specialist schools'. In any specialist setting there will be a mixture of children with different needs, some will have communication needs but some wont. There are different types of specialist settings to cover all different needs.

It's insulting to those who are disabled but have no communication issues. Minimising someones disability based on them being able to have a conversation is wrong. I should rip up my childs EHCP, withdraw them from their special school and apologise for taking a place as they must not be disabled enough as they can talk. Best kick all the kids out in wheelchairs who can speak too and tell them their verbal skills have determined them not to be that disabled.

How would we not have EHCPs? They're not just granted to those who have communication issues. Lets also remember behaviour is communication too, that's just as important as verbal communication.

I'm sorry but as a SEN parent of a verbal autistic child in my opinion it is the children who people think are ok because they look like they are who get the raw deal, fighting for assessments and therapies, the lack of understanding and ableism.

Alfie was non verbal by the way. Love or dislike her, she did the right thing by spotting things early and getting support for him. He highlights how important early intervention is and how beneficial it is for children.

She often reminds me of another account- one who and had a huge fall out with kisscub. They also think they are high and mighty and better than anyone else, passive aggressive with everything. Itā€™s like itā€™s a bloody competition sometimes!

Sometimes I can see why her marriage may have ended as it did. I canā€™t imagine living with someone as narcissist as her. Everything is a competition, woe me or I know best.

Oh duck off lesley
my kids both have autism. We still get surprised sometimes when they do stuff, because weā€™re not omniscient or any more ā€œwith itā€ than any other parent. You know your kid, but theyā€™re a separate person to you and with that comes behaviour that canā€™t always be predicted. She just sounds like an idiot here

She just sounds like the sort of parent to be like ā€˜oh my child canā€™t do thatā€¦ they have autism donā€™t you knowā€™. And she bangs on about ableismā€¦ the irony!

My son has Autism and GDD. Heā€™s different at home, different at school, different at Grandma and Grandaā€™sā€¦he goes to an ASN school and if the teachers tell me heā€™s done something, good or bad that I havenā€™t seen him do, Iā€™m not going to think ā€œheā€™s never done that, the school think I donā€™t know my son so they must be lying to meā€.

I donā€™t judge anyoneā€™s parenting but from that post alone Iā€™m wondering if sheā€™s waiting for things to argue/moan about

She's a preachy duck isn't she. And playing the 'I can't afford' card more often than normal when everyone knows she's doing OK financially.

Prob angling for a nursemum style go fund me
I thought all the beef she had with nursemum was because nursemum took the piss with the gofundmeā€™s and our Leslie is so much better than that although I can see so many similarities with the munchausens!
