Not much is ever said about the siblings of those with ASD. our half neurotypical half ASD house my girl resides Over the years she has had to acquiesce for the greater good. Have patience and understanding, play the role of mumma if I’m not there AND be 15 all with this smile ❤️
My son didn’t go dressed up as a character for world book day he went in his uniform ‘cos that’s what you wear to school’

This. this. this. is EVERYTHING that is wrong with children working in my industry. Just as it was when I was a child callous, spurious, narrow minded, infantilising girls, to sell fucking chocolate I hope the advertisers choke on theirs. And why my kids don’t work.
Literally everything you’re watching on telly at the moment is made by the self employed. If you think we’re just frivolous artists who need only £4K a year, try switching off the TV for 3 days. Also the books you’re reading and the games you’re playing the music etcetcetc

Not really mental health but a brain thing. On finding out my son has autism ‘I bet he’s good at maths’ No. ‘music?’ No. ‘Is it art then?’ No. ‘But you said he had autism’ ‘He does but that doesn’t mean he’s bloody rain man’ 🙄
When the first person to wish you happy birthday is the supermarket delivery person as your kids are asleep and your partner got up and out to watch the rugby

reminded by this - in 97 I was offered 2 jobs: 3 day filming with a critically acclaimed director the other 8 weeks on a bbc costume drama financially I had to take the 8 week was told by 1st director I was a sell out and he’d never work with me again
On this day 26 Nov, 17 years ago I did a photo shoot with my glorious Slater sister Michelle Ryan, I was newly pregnant and clearly having a ball. Just popped up on my feed ... Fun times ❤️

Its excruciating reading about your family but if it helps 1person seek diagnosis. If it helps 1family feel less alone. If it helps 1adult find their way in a world that is not created for them. I’ll take my son and my hair being discussed like it’s news
Even men in my own family and group of friends roll their eyes when I mention everyday sexism and misogyny when I mention everyday fear of violence from men while I just go about my business. So bored with ‘not all men’ why is that the response ?

In my neurodiverse house empathy is a little thin on the ground. Moderna booster floored me. my 4 lovely dogs didn’t run round the farm today but stayed by my side helping me along Emotional intelligence in animals can help us neurotypicals too 🐕 🥰
found myself in tears thinking of the loss of my dad 2day so many years ago. Grief sneaked up, poked me in the eye Time doesn’t make me miss them any less. I was 1 of the lucky ones to have such an adorable dad - here with my Ma. Sorry about the monkey it was the 60s ..RIP both
Ffs - there are worst things going on in this world I know but it begins with respect and care. If you cant even respect your surroundings how will you respect the people living in it.

So many parents of children with differing abilities have stuck to the rules. No one gave us different rules for our different children. We cannot trust those who advise us about the rules, if they cannot trust themselves to do it.
In the light of the Roxanne pallet situation we could all do well to remember that some people purely make up lies to justify their actions. usually spreading these lies to any1 who will listen to convince others of their validity. I’ve been there I know.
This fabulous lady has been so open about her depression she’s enabled many to talk about theirs and know there is a way through. Really Proud to call her my friend and colleague
