Being Ranty

I remember back to four years ago, when DS1 first got his diagnosis of Autism. I remember I had friends with kids with SN, and I remember how 'ranty' they were. The levels of frustration I heard was scary.

Since then we've had DS2's diagnosis, several DLA forms, DD's whole diagnosis process still ongoing (either ASD like the boys or selective mutism they're not sure yet) and everything that goes along with it.

It's happened without me even realising.... but I appear to have turned into a ranter myself

You know what, it's not the Autism/Mobility Issues that's hard to deal with, it's the stuff around it. Benefits agencies, the LEA (my major bugbear), beauracracy, the attitudes of people in the street (outright vitriol from some at our daring to even leave the house!), having to find everything out about available assistance rather than being told...

Oops, I'm ranting again

We shouldn't have to rant to get things but sadly we have no choice .

I hate filling in forms, having to prove our children need help at school, having to fight for DLA and housing. I am always ranting .

It's not the children's differences which disables them - it's the attitudes of the society they have to live in.
