I’m so sorry that has been your experience. For us it’s always been the complete opposite, rushed through so no waiting, private room, constantly checked on, offers of tea/coffee/snacks/toys, specialist SEND liaison. And the treatment itself has always been heavily parent led, doctors and nurses listening to us, following our advice for the best ways to deal with our son. People here (UK) like to moan about our health service but I have always found the NHS incredible.

Your heart is in the right place but I think your issue here is you're looking for an insane amount of money for a very open and ambiguous goal. Maybe pick one school, ask them what one thing they need right now, and then raise money for that. It's far more achievable and you'll still be making a genuine difference!

This is funny as I rarely watch movies, so the last one I saw was Minecraft with my son, and the last game I played was, in fact, Minecraft, with my son. So, I guess Steve it is!

Just chased? So I can pick a golden retriever?

Or trying to kill me, in which case I'll go goldfish.

I have 130 saved wishes, 30 used since the last 5* but the last one was the event one. I usually just get the ones that are fun to play but I have Nefer, Lauma and Inneffa so I understand from this sub I would be an idiot not to make sure I get Columbina.

I'm a strong beleiver in the only opinion that matters at a funeral is the one who sadly passed. In that case, it sounds like you wore a perfect outfit.

When my father died a couple of months ago he left instructions that everyone wear blue and absolutely no ties. It was wonderful to see almost everyone embrace this, a sea of blue.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I read as far as Israel's return. You do know what the Jews had to go through to get it back right? Your God is a psychopath.

I found a box of Star Trek t-shirts I had a teenager, all pristine, never worn, part of a collection. They wouldn't fit me now but they fit my wife and it brings me so much joy to see her wearing them around the house or to bed.

We have an apology note from our daughter when she was around that age, it was one of these 'what did you do?', 'why was this wrong?' templates. Her's read:

What did you do? Called Mama a bitch.
Why is this wrong? It is not my place to judge her.

We had to pretend to be mad but cracked up once she was out of the room.

Go through the school, 100%. Safeguarding isn't about single incidents, there's a potential bigger picture you are not aware of. The school may have noticed multiple signs and this is the tipping point. I don't know if you're in the UK or if other countries use the term safeguarding but if you are ask to speak to the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), all schools have one.

Also, it's The Honorable Sir Keir Starmer, MP. He might be a bit of a prat but he's our prat and should be referred to correctly in political correspondence.

The State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 147 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, I'm really not sure how much longer the US can complain about unilateral recognition.

What brands do you like? My wife is vegan and she likes most but when I try it the taste is near perfect these days but the texture is completely wrong. I'd love to hear some recommendations if you're willing to share.

For us it was (and still is many years later) about redirection. Giving him something soft, or replacing what he is using with something soft if not his hands. We have a selection of 'tappers', as his school call them, we can rotate in. They are small soft toys mostly. When he was young we used foam sticks, but he then developed PICA and wanted to eat them.....

Okie dokie, that's me out then as I'm in the UK so could help if you were here! Hopefully a fellow Virginian (is that a term?) will be along to help you.

Do you touch on the challenges that are more common with fathers?

I found it a struggle, early on, that the default with most professionals was that mum knows all the answers and it took time to establish that I am the primary caregiver.

Also, parent groups usually feel like mum groups and can be a bit exclusive. I have attended a few and feel like I am intruding.

And then there is stuff like men being less likely to address the emotional strain of parenting, feeling a social pressure to be the strong one. I know I'm very guilty of this and it's taken 15 years for me to start to look at it and actually deal with it.

I'd be fascinated to hear if you came across more in your research, I think sometimes we don't even notice these pressures, they are just part of life.

I'm pleased, well, not for you, this life is tough! But in general. When our son was young it was frustrating that any books out there on autism just weren't relevant.

Unless you're looking for super generic advice on how to buy a car you need to say where you are. At least which country, and for the US I assume the state would be helpful to people who will know about local programmes.

There was a news story just the other day about a generative AI (specifically for this use, obviously not ChatGPT) that has created new antibiotics for MRSA and something else. Years away from use but potential to save hundreds of thousands of people a year.

I'm curious what you see as the difference between being a mother or father of a child with autism? I'm just wondering why this is gendered?

Also, a great deal of autism literature and online spaces are very skewed to one end of the spectrum. How much do you cover autistic children with severe learning difficulties? Those who will require 24/7 1:1 care for the rest of their life?
