I know someone who works in a nursery There are a couple of children in the nursery that have asd. Friend does not have a qualification in special needs/asd. But will have some experience because of the fact she works with them.
But she thinks she (knows) everything. My child is not that bad. She (knows) because she works with children who have asd.
There is stuff she really does not understand. Like my son has good speech. You can understand each word he says . So she thinks that hes fine . When in fact he cant hold a 2 way conversation. He cant follow simple instructions without lots of prompting. He's in year 3 but working at reception level. He has ehcp with a 121.
When things are to much for him he withdraws into himself so he can go unnoticed.
When I try to explain to her. she says he's not that bad. She says oh come on there are children who are much more server who cant even feed themselves . In nappys all day cant speak at all etc. Which is true there are children with special needs worse of than my child. But that does not mean it's OK to dismiss my child's needs.
In reality she does not havecam effect on us. Just does my head I'm. So this post is just a moan really
.
