Things you want to say but can't...

[Spinkle]

Thought it might be necessary useful for our poor beleagured mental health to have a thread where we could just unload. Don't need a back story.

Just the things you want to say but can't. Bad language too, if it makes you feel better,

Here's mine.

No, I do not wish to watch Chicken Run again I would rather eat my own head.

fgs your 15, learn to blow your nose. Stop picking it and wiping it under your armpit .

To head - fuck off you lying twat. Why do you feel the need to prevent your staffs concerns from reaching parents?

Some babies are just difficult sleepers?

Well please take him to Your house tonight. No I mean it, please!!!

And every night for that matter!

Oh ffs, I know what I'm talking about, just b**y well do what I say cos I'm right! I KNOW what will work for my ds and I'm FED UP of your sodding patronising ways.

Yes, I know I'm not quite as consistent as I'd like to be. And that's having a minor adverse effect on ds1. But it's BECAUSE I'm scatty and hyperactive underneath that I've somehow accumulated nearly 20 jobs, 2 related degrees, and a silly amount of google / book / anecdotal information about adhd, autistic spectrum disorders, child development, early years and adult education, specific learning difficulties, linguistics, sign language, applied behavioural analysis, SEN provision and possibilities, sensory integration, disability rights, and the other many things that I've forgotten I knew but can dredge up when ds1 (or the other dc) need them. And can troubleshoot from barely visible cues at the speed of light (sometimes )

Match that and then I'll listen when you try to over-ride my ideas about my ds who you barely know.

actually, where's star? I think she pretty much did say that lot at tribunal but managed to produce evidence that convinced them (not the scatty bit of course!)

Yes I am hugely proud of how far they have come but I'm knackered and just at this minute the future fills me with dread so please don't ask me for ideas or give me tasks to work on because I want to get off the treadmill for a week or two.

For the 50th time...my son doesn't need a fucking visual schedule

And to several people I know...I know DS is smiley and handsome. It doesn't mean he isn't fucking autistic

(apologies for potty mouth)

so you arrange the wedding of the year, send out lovely invites, is it beyond you to tell your cousin/niece that there is sodding wheelchair access. and not give her mum grief cos she dares to ask.

No my house did not need a "tidy up" today as much as my DS needed you to play with him and not stick him front of the TV while I worked. Frankly I could have done that myself.

But yes I am starting to see a pattern of avoidance here

You lost his urine sample on christmas eve and now you've lost the bloods that were done, under sedation and required him to be stabbed 4 times!!!! GRRRRRRR!

Yes I know she seems happy at school but she is very very upset...no matter how much you tell her to like fireworks or the school bell it still fecking hurts!!!!!!

I dont care if its not inclusive of nt kids it helps dd so fecking do it already!!!!!

Thanks for the de-stress! :)

oh the school fire alarm... yes love, well he went non compliant because the fire bell went off and that would be enough.. but then he had to cope with the disruption as well... so I'm not suprised he just sat there and did nothing for the lesson... no point ringing me to tell me he was non compliant... what you dont understand what the alarm has to do with it?... OMG no wonder you see no sensory integration issues or asd traits!
would you like a book on it... I have some I can lend you... or in fact.. i believe you attended the multi team meeting ... WHERE YOU WERE TOLD ALL OF THIS! by the medical proffs that were there.
and no, you can't diagnose him as not having asd.. because you my dear are an educator.. not a nedical proffesional.. just because you haven't a clue .. doesn't mean it's not there!
Oh and he has perception issues regarding the social side of school, and speaks to his peers in a way that they find offensive... well... that'll be the ASD too! FFS

Yes, I know our dc are " exactly the same age" and your dc is so much more advanced than mine; you don't need to ram it down my throat everytime I see you, don't you think it's hard enough to come to these f groups and have everyone give us the same patronising praise /sympathetic glances without your bitchy comments. But if it helps you feel better about your miserable little life to pick on a disabled baby, then go ahead and demonstrate, yet again, what a completely ignorant person you are!!!

My I feel so much better now!!! You never know one day I may actually say it to her face

To my ex and father of my beautiful ASD/OCD ten yr old son.....

"go fuck yourself; NO! you can't do better with him than I have (you left when he was 4 ffs 'cause you hated the restricted life we had!!) You see him TWICE A MONTH, it's not the same as living with it!

To his expert (used to be a nanny ffs) girlfriend......"please call my son by his "known" name (she shortens it......I have to wonder who she's talking about!!). Also, stop being such a know-all and telling the professionals "WE don't see that side of him all that often - he's wonderful with us!!" That would be because YOU SEE HIM TWICE A MONTH!

That's better. And.... B R E A T H E.

wendi you have the same ex as I do!

I work with people with special needs. I get paid fuck all money to wipe up piss and shit, get kicked, punched and bitten, scrub toilets and waitress. I have fuck all money because I'm doing the donkey work so you can sit in an office all day eating biscuits and earning a squillion pounds an hour to feel smug. IT'S YOUR ROUND!!!

No, I don't want to train to be a teacher. Teachers are smarmy fuckers who spend a year pissing about watching someone else do it badly, then go off and ponce around feeling superior becuase they can dole out homework and detentions.

PLEASE can we do something together OTHER than read books, yes it is nice that you like to look at books but if I have to read "Where's Spot" ONE MORE TIME today I'm going to have to stab myself in the eyeballs.

Don't pworry that my 11 month old seems brighter than yours. There's nothing wrong with your baby, mine is actually 18 months older than yours. Yes I'm sure, I was there when he was born.

No, you can't buy snow from tesco.

Yes I know he's making progress but the other children at toddler group are still making progress faster than him.

Yes I know he should be walking by now.

No, I don't think he'll be walking by the time dc3 is born.

I'd love a nippy mclaren stroller but I'm stuck with this buggy that's the size of a tank, now get out of my way.

to mother of chavvy little bully-girl in DS class

Ooh hello! are you XXX's mother - she looks just like you - yeess, the evil gnomette look. Where are you thinking of sending her to secondary school - I need to avoid applying to any of the same schools? Gosh you've got her nasty temper too...

I just owned you motherfucker.

Yeah. Don't mess with me.

stop fucking ignoring me.

LOL Maria's post. No I didn't say that at tribunal, but yes it sounds exactly like me too!

Will you just get off your backside and give my son the support he needs now! I do not want to be reasonable, accommodating, shake your hand, smile at you, because you are being useless, patronising and have a face I want to slap!

Oh that makes me feel a bit better :)
