So we all went today to support middle child in her reception celebration assembly. She had asked for us all to be there - mummy, baby thug and PDA’er. I feared it would end in disaster but it actually gave us a sense of belonging. This was a difficult thing to do - as the children are in different schools now it means I struggle to do many of my daughter’s school runs. This always tinges me with sadness that she really gets an unfair amount of my attention. Yesterday she was over the moon that I got to take her to school and I had a tear in my eye when I heard her tell her PDA sister, “but you get to have mummy every day!” It was also uncomfortable for me to enter the building because I know there will always be the looks still and the lack of understanding. It always makes me on edge. Also, to show your face when you know you have proved their injustice towards SEN in a trial and had the backing from an appeals team, well I just feel like slipping into the shadows out of pure awkwardness. PDA’er has not really been fully in the building since she was discarded. She pushed past the audience and sat herself down amongst her old school friends in the assembly then chatted freely. I was worried about what would be said but I chose to let it go. Amongst the sea of red uniforms was this little white shirt - I could spot her as she kept turning around to grin at me. It was so powerful to no longer be afraid, to hold our heads tall and to face anything as a family. We will no longer be misunderstood. #pathologicaldemandavoidance #PDA #girlswithautism #autismmum #autismfamily #ig_senblog #ig_autism #ig_kidsphoto #ig_kidsgram #autism #autismawareness #inclusion #inclusionmeans #inclusionmatters #BeingMisunderstood #noordinarykids #ukpbloggers #ukparentbloggers #blog
🎈Once I was seven years old, my momma told me: Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely. Once I was seven years old.🎈 Do I mention the fact that she had the biggest meltdown last night because she suddenly decided she wasn’t ready to be seven yet? She said she couldn’t change from being six. Birthdays are tricky in this house. Too much uncertainty is definitely something that heightens anxiety for her. It’s just as frightening to have a family member’s impending birthday as it is her own. Without fail, the excitement and nerves almost instantly spill over into anxiety - resulting in a panic attack. But we made it through - in one way or another. Looks like her momma is happy; she has made some friends and won’t be lonely 🎶 #ig_kidsphoto #ig_kidsgram #ig_autism #ukpbloggers #sen #senblog #senblogger #autismblog #autism #autismblogger #autismawareness #pathologicaldemandavoidance #pda #autismmom #autismmum #singlemum #birthdaygirl #birthday #minecraftcake #sevenyearsold
