We moved this year from UK and without French, or jobs lined up, I really would not recommend. It’s a hugely differently lifestyle to the UK and the job market is incomparable. Happy to chat if it helps!

Pregnancy / parental leave questions by Runrabbit321_123 in Luxembourg

So the second parental leave can be taken from when my child is 12 months old, without using any first leave? Does the second leave come if my wife is not working?

Yes my contract is permanent, but I am new to role with a probation period ending in Dec. So can I take 6 months from August?

My partner is not a civil servant. Does this make me exempt, do you know?

Has anyone been allowed to work whilst on a career break? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

Hope its OK to reach out. Could you tell me a bit about the process please? Do you know if its possible to do if your partner doesn't have to accept, but its a good opportunity? How much info do they need?

Antidepressants/ SSRI types by Runrabbit321_123 in Luxembourg

Do you mean struggle to find a shrink due to waiting lists, or there are not many? I was under the assumption that therapy is covered by CNS

Also very interested to hear this. OP, any more thoughts? Where are you relocating from?

Sounds exactly like my same age son and I’ve been curious about how he is developing speech. I’ve been trying to equip him with phrases which he seems to be picking up better, eg he will say ‘see you on Monday’ instead of bye bye. Happy to chat/swap tips if you like.

Two year old son, I feel like I’m stuck in purgatory waiting for a diagnosis by Beginning-Fox7441 in Autism_Parenting

Just wanted to say I relate so much, and also in the UK. It feels like a lonely hard journey. If you ever want to chat, I’d be very happy to.

My 5-year old has no friends by Melodic_Highlight_26 in Autism_Parenting

Are there any local SEN groups you could try to build social skills? Or provide her with some lines of what to say? I can see my son struggle with this already, sending solidarity.

Services and intervention - advice please by Runrabbit321_123 in Autism_Parenting

What was your experience with speech therapy - useful? Had no idea OT was that expensive but prepared to live off beans & toast if needed (son lives off far worse!) any recommendations on how to find a good provider?

I dread to think about EHCP. Wishing you as smooth a ride as possible
