ASD my Kids and Me

Today big starts a totally useless week of soul destroying and mental health crushing tests.
What do they do to benefit my child ? Nothing it’s an evaluation of the school and the teaching staff. Ok it tracks his progress from year 3-6 but how does that help him ?
Secondary schools rarely use the information for the child as they prefer to carry out their own evaluations.
so why! Why put our 11 year olds through a nonsense test, how about put the teachers through the test make sure they know what they are teaching and evaluation done ta da!
For my Lenny and thousands of other children with mental health issues this week will be hell on earth !
Big try your best but remember your best is enough. Wether you pass or fail it’s not a reflection of you and the amazing kid you are

For all the purple warriors in the world!
Small has epilepsy and thankfully at the moment it’s just absent seizures but they are getting more frequent and Great Ormond street say they will most likely get progressively worse as she gets older.
Support, research, medical intervention, knowledge and love for all the purple warriors 💜💜💜

Had an amazing time at my work Christmas Day/ night yesterday.
A fabulous day out in London with the most amazing people followed by a festive meal and a cheeky Christmas cosmo 🍸 and an overnight stay in a hotel ……..
Well to tell the truth… as Mandy Lou’s is my part time project my full time job is SEN mum so technically my kids can also be classed as colleagues yes?
So a day out to see Disney on ice followed by a beefeater festive menu and a night at my home towns finest premier inn 😂😂😂
