In relationships we can accept things and make excuses to others, to play down what is being said/done to us by the ones who are meant to love us.

We can start to think that it's our fault and that we have upset the other person.
That we just need to try harder to be a better person. We will not always recognise we are being abused.

What is abuse?

What is it like to be a child living with autism.

This was written by Bradley O'Connell in his own words aged 15yrs.

Its hard swallowing pills so I recommend dis-solvable ones, but everyone is different
and some will just refuse some medication. It is hard to swallow because of the taste.
If you are having this problem give them something good to help wash it down like a
treat or something they like. (I used my sandwich)
Going to the toilet is tricky with germs and again everyone is different. If they don’t
want to use a public toilet then don’t try making it better by encouraging them to go.
60% of the time it wont help the situation It will only make it worse.
When you have autism stuff sounds louder and you’re a bit more sensitive so when
going to a firework display, listening to bands, or other loud activity's get a good pair
of ear defenders, to help block out the noise. The better they are the more it will
help
In school it’s hard to remember the task being asked to do. It’s easier to have a
step-by-step guide. Only give them 1 step at a time because it’s too much and will be
to confusing. Always try to bare with them so they can understand especially if they
have a lot to do.
When you are going clothes shopping make sure to check with them first, because
the label or the clothes might irritate them and would need to be cut off
