He has improved considerably but he is a challenge to say the least. I'm not saying he is autistic, but just that when I sought help I got none. I had his hearing tested, assessment for speech therapy which he is still doing, and wanted to discuss his behaviour with a doctor or someone! Most people/professionals I've seen have blamed speech on behaviour or vice versa, or said things like 'he's a boy' or 'he'll grow out of it', and yes they have suggested I go on a parenting course! I haven't, I am dealing with it as best I can, and I am glad to say his behaviour is improving. The school he starts in September is very supportive and I get on very well with his to be teacher, so I'm hoping we can work on it. Child behaviour, whether autistic or not I feel is not something that parents are well supported on at all. Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS . Hope you come back again next time. xBlissful Domesticationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096801682731000443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-40543779084916318292017-08-06T15:51:57.668-07:002017-08-06T15:51:57.668-07:00That's really interesting Lynne.

I've been on a few early bird courses - these are effectively a type of parenting course based around understanding the behaviour of our autistic children I guess. It was really helpful. It's not so much that parenting courses are being offered I think my concern is the wrong type of course being offered or offered for the wrong reasons.

As a parent, there is not much worse than wasting time listening to someone telling you to do something which you know won't work. Especially if you are short of sleep! #SpectrumSundayStephs Two Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592292485187553690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-70044126592775083222017-08-06T09:39:01.702-07:002017-08-06T09:39:01.702-07:00I think it's easy to blame parents for the beh...I think it's easy to blame parents for the behaviour of their children. I have four kids and I realsie that so many variables come into play when it comes to behaviour. In some ways I am fortunate in that my first born was really well behaved at school and that my son came along in second position. If he'd been first then maybe I would have been judged unfairly for his challenging behaviours when infact it was due to him processing things differently through having autism. Having said that the only support I was offered was a parenting skills course. I think any parent of any child would benefit from taking time to think consioucly about how to parent - to avoid getting stuck, to be come a parent who reflects on what works and what doesn't - for some that will be through quiet reflection by themselves, others will read, some will talk to a friend and some will find parenting courses very helpful - we are all different - one size and one approach options don't work for everyone. #spectrumsundayLynne (Raising My Autistic Son)http://ablogaboutraisingmyautisticson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-63342931186801035752017-08-04T05:50:41.762-07:002017-08-04T05:50:41.762-07:00Brilliant Post, all too often parents of children ...Brilliant Post, all too often parents of children like ours are still blamed rather than given the support they need to make a difference to their children.

Initially i was told to go on a parenting course which i rejected and appealed CAMHS decision and asked to see another consultant who very quickly diagnosed Miss C with Autism. Miss M i am convinced has autism, we are on the waiting list to be seen but do you know what CAMHS told me when i was talking to them on the phone as i am struggling with my 6 year old. there is talk that within a few years from now autism will not be diagnosed. It will just be something we 'deal with' at home and at school. I really hope it is just talk! #Postsoftheheartrachelhttp://indecisivemum.comnoreply@blogger.com
