Autistic kids

[king 11,664]

1 thing I will say to you all though.your kids are younger than mine.my oldest is 19 youngest 14.

The amount of times I lied on the pillow in bed worrying about when they are older.thinking this and that. The worst worrying in my life.

But that eased off a few years ago now.

I know you all worry about the kids when they are older..but try not to worry everything will be ok in the end

My little lad had an incident with a teacher when he first started school, as you know lads temper can be an issue.

They wanted him to colour in a clown, so he says “I don’t like clowns”

Now the inexperienced teacher tried to force him and he just coloured the whole thing black so he “couldn’t see it” as he said.

She told him off and he went and sat under a table.

The next bit was the mistake, she pulled him out by force and he went nuts, he was only 5 and he must have been terrified.

Two teachers physically removed him from the room  and he was lashing out to get away and they put him in an office !! 
He must have been so scared.

They phoned me and I went and got him.

That one incident ruined school for him, he could not cope after that and that why we took him out and educate him at home.

I don’t hold it against people, they just don’t get that kids on the spectrum just see the world different and us “normal” people find that a hard thing to fathom.

We wouldn’t even consider it if we had never come across it.

That's it they ain't trained for it and don't know how to work around the situation at all mate.

My lad booted a teacher in the shin at about 8yr old.the headmaster was a right horrible fecker.he was stoped from interacting with my son after that.cams put a stop to immediately..

I will be honest I was am the black sheep of the family not one of mine bother with Tom  because he's austitc and has been outspoken with them but I'm not bothered he knows who has his back but I don't know about you lads but isn't it funny how quick some are to dismiss a kid who's different and then gets labelled a bad one because they don't understand autism

My niece has Down’s syndrome, she is a ripe old old age for a Down’s syndrome person being nearly 50.

My brother took that girl everywhere with him all her life, always just treated her pretty normal......where he was, she was.

I think she was as well known round South London as anyone ! Lol

She still lives at home and it has been difficult at times but she has a job at the centre and does her bits and bobs at home.

She is spot on mate, obviously I grew up with her as we are nearly the same age.

Her brother (my nephew) is the same age as me and lives across the road From his dad with his family so it’s a comfort for my Brother that he is there.

My Brother is in his 70s and his health isn’t great so it must be a worry for him.

@king & @Blackmag How are your lads for swimming ?

My little boy absolutely loves swimming, I think the sensory thing of being in the water is something that really benefits him
