Thanks for posting. My son has ASD (I probably do to an extent) and it's really sensory issues that challenge him. It's always a challenge that behaviours associated with ASD are seen as 'odd and awkward' and are not bad behaviour, just coping.

My youngest son is on the autism spectrum and eats basically the same food every day and has done for about the last 30 years. It’s what he’s comfortable with and that’s fine.

Anyone in Neath Port Talbot looking for support or advice can call in to speak to the local National Autistic Society at the Aberavon Shopping centre tomorrow.

The is a NPT NAS Facebook page available with support and activities for both adults,children and carers. I believe that Swansea also have a similar set up

Mrs works at Ysgol Maes y Coed in Bryncoch Pacey challenging work, she only works two days these days though she's been there since it opened and at Briton Ferry special school before that our youngest was there until it closed then he went to Ysgol Maes Y Coed, until he reached 19, he goes to Brynamlwg special needs day care centre these days as he's 29 now, thankfully he hasn't got autism though, I can't imagine what it must be like having a child with autism my heart goes out to them.
I've often told Mrs to pack her job in many a time as she's enough to do with our youngest as his disability is very demanding and he can be hard work a lot of the time because of his condition poor sleep etc, but she loves being with the Children there fair pay to her..

It’s definitely challenging but so many people say how rewarding it is too.

Your Mrs should be recognised for everything that she does at home and in work and that’s without having to put up with you too!!

I used to get away with some things in the past, but not anymore

I agree, as you know I work in peoples houses from all walks of life and households with children and young adults with autism, hard work for them, but they live with it and cope.

Friend of mine [not seen him for a good while unfortunately] his son has autism and he himself is on the spectrum, clever intelligent man though he was my manager for a while and is a biker or was.
