Re very disabled autistic children, parents say that socialisation isn't the aspect t they miss of special needs education, but basic things like toilet training and that they have regressed in this respect. Maybe I'm totally missing something, but might parents not have a significant part to play in maintaining their child's welfare in this respect or does it invariably have to be somebody else's responsibility? Not saying it's easy.

I have been wondering about this too.

I thought autistic people were generally non-social. So seeing all these autistic kids on the news saying they miss their friends confuses me.

More especially with the "pre-verbal" children. One parent was making the point that toileting is a major regression since not getting the special education which focussed on maintaining basic living functions rather than education as we know it. They are really all in different situations, in many, but not all cases the patents being the best experts, especially with a bit of support.

Thought it sounded like an Antrim glens sort of accent.

22-01-2021 3:02pm

War's de name of de dog? Type? Gender? Colour? Age? History? Any facts at all?

One often wakes up with shattering teeth after de big surgeries, nature's way of warming herself up post anaesthetic. Horrible that she had nobody to reassure her.

shearforce · 22-01-2021 3:04pm

nope

My mother was always very anti-abortion; however she was very much for anybody who was raped or coerced being offered abortion no matter what the church thought.

sligojoek · 22-01-2021 3:07pm

She should have checked the social worker.

PieOhMy · 22-01-2021 3:08pm

Was the dog named?

22-01-2021 3:09pm

About the only person still posting here today is Catmaniac. I assume I switched off at the right time.

I have a theory now why the ads during Liveline is so low in money making, its so Joe can push ahead with his agenda for weeks on end and Dee can't complain about loss of revenue from people switching to NewsTalk.

There were no supports for single parents until about 90s, as far as I can remember.

Edit, and then people were antsy about them when they came in, especially when it subsequently was exploited in certain situations as always things will be.

No but the accent of the bark sounded feminine.

Must look dat up, I'm only going by vague memories. Anybody in family who in 90s became single parents were greatly supported by the family. One such had a one night stand with a girl after a party and she became pregnant. He didn't even know her name, but the outcome is like a fairy tale as they got together, fell in love, got married, raised a family and now the couple are a special needs teacher, an engineer and both do major voluntary work and have the happiest family going. The entire family gave full support, and made contact with the girl's parents overseas and made binds with them.
