Unconfirmed but apparently #Dominicummimgs child is #autistic . The rules for autistic people were changed on April 9th so dates donโ€™t add up. Please donโ€™t insult all those families with autistic children who have struggled or lost relatives to Covid and still stuck by the rules.

There needs to be a lot more recognition of #PDA whether as a standalone condition or part of the #autism profile. It is often the defiant/avoidant behaviour that parents and schools struggle with. We need more help with how to view the issue and how to help our children too.

When schools put behaviour above relationship it creates a problem for pupils. When the DfE puts results above relationship then school leaders and staff have a problem. Relationship makes community. Without this we are undone. We need systemic change.

Those of us in early years and primary are noticing a dramatic rise in the numbers of pupils with SEND, most of them included in the mainstream classes. Yet our secondary system appears to be more and more set up to exclude them. Big issue over next ten years.

Those of us who live on the front line know only too well how broken the system actually is. If only 25% of children who are referred to Camhs actually get an appointment what happens to the other 75%? We need systemic changes in health, social care and education.

Conversation between my kids: Talia: "Who's Theresa May?" Immi: "She's the PM." Talia: "I thought that was David Bowie" Olivia: "So do you know who Jeremy Corbin is?" Immi: "He's the man who does carpool karaoke." Talia: "Yeah, I love Jamie Carragher." God give me strength!

2/2 TRIGGER WARNING - where are you @educationgovuk @AFNCCF when, because of school, our children are attempting to take their lives, self-harming, not eating, melting down, unable to speak, punching us, losing hope, seeing no future?

School attendance difficulties: 92.1% neurodivergent 83.4% autistic - @educationgovuk this pic is exactly what masking looks like. @AFNCCF surely you know this. #tonedeaf Itโ€™s us parents who mop up the trauma school causes. Our children deserve better. #SEND #Autism 1/2

Just laid our hands on an actual copy of our book, A Very Modern Family! This book tackles many of the modern day challenges of raising children: mental health, neuro-divergence, race, adoption, LGBTQIA+, physical health issues. It is full of stories, strategies and hope.

Itโ€™s International Education Day. A few years ago I visited India as part of a campaign to get girls to stay in school post 11yrs old. How ironic that now my own daughter (14) hasnโ€™t been to school since she was 11. The UK needs to face its crisis for our children with #SEND

Can you imagine a summit where we co-create ideas with & for YP around mental health, neuro-diversity and Learning Disability with @NHSEngland & @educationgovuk reps present. Concrete ideas would then be developed. Who's in? How about it @ChildrensComm #StopTheSilos #SEN #MH #LD
