Hi there, I am new here as well. My name is Tracy and my youngest is autistic. I have had a bit of a bumpy ride with my son as he can not attend mainstream school and I have to home school him, which is difficult as he can not do even a fraction of the work of other children his age. Which means I have difficulty with the education authority often as I have to tick the right boxes which he will never be able to do, hospital appoinments, well he was born with a liver condition and also has gilberts syndrome. It is difficult, but I do have a few things I take with me to make it easier. I laminate favourite colouring book pages and take baby wipes and pens with me that and a couple of small toys that fit in to my bag. What kind of things do you do to make it easier?
life is too short to let others make you miserable. -
