All I can say, Lucy, is that whenever we see a child having a meltdown or tantrum, we make sure that we react with kindness and concern for the parent. Hands up, before I had kids I was judgemental but once you become a parent you realise all children have their challenges and, as you say, a tantrum is a snapshot not the big picture.

I couldn't imagine how difficult it is to be a parent of a child with Autism, and then having to hear snide remarks.<br />I was always taught that if you didn't have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut. I don't know when or why this attitude was lost, but it only seems to be getting worse.

Before I realised my girl may be Autistic I tried to discipline her for her behaviour and it just didn't work....We have been trying for about 7 years to get help and up until the last year we just go fobbed off by our GP, school nurse and the school. We had our last appointment about 5 months ago we are due to see someone else soon to push things further. You are right there is no quick way to go about things.xKim Carberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161778195020251767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939960062000410955.post-22571312067318023472018-02-17T00:34:25.884+00:002018-02-17T00:34:25.884+00:00Sometimes I hear people saying 'She must be au...Sometimes I hear people saying 'She must be autistic', or 'Autism? there's no such a thing!'. In the times we live in, the Golden Age of Google, we all are doctors. We all heard something, we kind of know what is it all about, but most of us don't even know what autism really is. <br />Thanks for spreading the awareness! And especially for the part that explains why you can not 'discipline' a child with autism.
