Posted: 10/21/2009 4:18:15 PM | Hi - Parent of 11 yr old autistic son. I have home-schooled year before last and will do so again next year. My disability service worker organized for my son and 2 other boys in same situation, with carers or parents present to get together one day a week-end for a socialization outings. This is brilliant as C's ability to handle stress from being out and socializing daily is really challenged when he is made to attend school -even part-time. In australia it is your legal right to home-school -Autism diagnosis or not. It doesnt have to be looked at as it will make your child a weirdo or reject either- Autism will do that just fine anyways right?! So I am trying to minimize his escalations by limiting his sesory overload to outside stimulus. This is better for him than forceing him to daily be subjected to people who do not undertsnad him in the in depth way I do so there for put great expectations onto him that he cannot help but fail at. A non-conducive environment will escalate behaviour and that is the parents cue that some-thing is wrong in the setting NOT the child. The child has the diagnosis for a reason. Best of luck to you all-fight hard and never give up on your special ones. :)  | |

Posted: 10/21/2009 5:08:06 PM | I am a single mother of a 7 year old son, who is autistic. I would be interested in joining a group whether it be posting thoughts and sharing stories or even meeting at places.
My son is high functioning so I'm not concerned with what someone I'm dating thinks of him or his behaviors. When it comes to dating someone, my concern is would they fit into our lives, and how well would they treat my son. Not only my son I have a daughter as well but she's able to speak freely and tell me if someone doesn't treat her the right way. My son on the other hand can't do that. Therefore, I've keep men out of my life. Had a few boyfriends but obviously none that stuck around to take on this family full of diversity. | |
