Just a bit down after this morning and knew the people here would understand.
DD (2.10 and probably ASD) goes to a playgroup where they aren't really aware of her needs as they are not set up for that.
I was helping today.
DD obviously doesn't join in like the other children. The leader kept telling the other parents of new starters that "they just pick things up within one or two sessions"..knowing DD hasn't since January.
She always goes on at me about how they pick things up if you keep "training them".
Then to top it off, one of the workers was talking to another mum about how well her child had settled in and said "We had another girl here before who wouldn't mix or play with anyone" and the mum said "oh it makes you wonder what kind of interaction they are getting at home, doesn't it." Which went right through me.
Can't wait until October when DD can start at the nursery I visited yesterday, where the manager was SO caring about her needs and really understood.
