Hello, and welcome to another Spectrum Sunday – the linky for all autism, special needs and disability posts. I am linking two posts this week. The first has a slightly misleading title – Autism? More like bad parenting – but is actually a call for people to show less judgement and more compassion. My second post is The Things I Know and it is from a few months back.
We have had some more tough news this week regarding Biggest’s nursery funding and the lack of support available for his additional needs. I feel I will be writing multiple posts on the topic soon. We are going to have to fight to ensure he isn’t subject to discrimination because he needs constant one-to-one support. Watch this space.
Our favourite post from the last linky was Bus Training from Raising My Autistic Son. We felt this post was so useful as it is just the sort of thing that the parents of autistic children have to consider every day. It resonated with me so much as I can certainly see Biggest refusing to leave a bus stop for just the same reasons in the future.
Many thanks to my co-host, Ann at Rainbows are too beautiful, for hosting the last linky. Remember, the linky runs once a fortnight, alternating hosting. We really want to make sure that everyone with a post gets to link up and so we will keep the it open for thirteen days – Sunday until the Saturday nearly two weeks later. Hopefully, this should mean that everyone can link up, even though the linky is every two weeks.
We would also like to remind you that you can use the hashtag #spectrum_sunday on Instagram (make sure you remember the underscore!) and check out the Spectrum and SEND Sunday board on Pinterest here. We pin everyone’s posts to the Pinterest board each week so do check out and re-pin any posts that you enjoy there too.
Now on to the linky. Please do read the rules below and make sure you share the linky love by commenting on others’ posts. Remember, the linky is open to any autism, SEND or disability posts. Thank you – we look forward to reading your posts.
