> Some days you worry about whether you are doing the right thing as a parent. You second guess yourself all the time. My son went to a gaelscoil (school through Irish, it’s not our main language at home). I have second guessed myself about choosing that route, about the age he started etc. As the diagnoses (Autism/ADHD) first rolled in at age 7 when the anxiety hit the roof I questioned and debated again whether I made the right calls. The following year the dyslexia diagnosis came in and I properly panicked to have him in a dual language school. But ultimately their support is great. And we couldn’t get him in anywhere else local. And we worried about moving him from his friends as making them is very hard for him > > Two years ago we could not discuss emotions with him. He’s been in play therapy and psychology and has settled completely into himself. But still will not discuss emotions or feelings with us or others. He’s always ‘bad’ or ‘doesn’t know’. > > Other days however you can take the win, recognise it and bask in the realisation that right now? Right now his school are doing AMAZING! > > Last February they asked could they put him in a small group social support group as they felt he was ready. He came home today with a scrap book full of photos and pictures and writing (writing is a massive problem for him!) describing himself in a positive light, describing emotions, listing out his worries…. NGL I cried. This is just so amazing to see and I can’t believe they managed to get this all out of him > > Today is a good day

Hello all. I am the creator of this instance (Although you will likely only see me post under my username @saplith when not making very official announcements).

I am currently looking for folks to volunteer to moderate the communities that currently exist. They would establish rules of these communities and help in their care. My hope is for every community to have at last 3 moderators and for no moderator to head more than 5 communities.
