Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 - what part of the UK are you in? I'm surprised to hear that Autism is still thought of that way where you are. Have you read anything by Tony Attwood? Do you have a local Autism Society chapter that you can contact??? We get a lot of info from the UK in FEAT Newsletters etc., so that's why I ask where you're from... Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 > Children are not seen as special needs just naughty children. Autistic kids can be naughty but most likely the behaviors being referred to are directly due to the child's disability and are not planned or rebellious behaviors. Very very ignorant on their part. Parents are > seen as the cause of the childs problem.either by the way they act at home > or being neurotic. Sounds like the US eons ago. No, the parents didn't cause the behaviors or the autism, and the parents are not neurotic. Not to say that having an autistic or other special needs child doesn't place alot of strain on a family, but a child is not autistic because of!

It is so helpful to have someone who understands. You're a good friend . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
