6 months, 2 weeks ago by toast	Helen - thats awful about the bullying. So sorry to hear about that :( Have you reported them? should be taken seriously as a disability hate crime. Where abouts in the country are you?
6 months, 2 weeks ago by Helen x 3	Thanks for your replies. I have been led to believe im lucky to get 4hrs support. I will try and investigate more it certainly would help as im finding as my son gets older he really doesn't want to be spending his time with his Mum! He has never watched TV so its hard to constantly think of things to keep him occupied. The bullying is still going on and im very scared of making things worse but guess im going to have to do something. You guys have made me realize its unacceptable, thanks for that. Being on my own means i dont have anyone to bounce ideas off and feel im a paranoid Mum so thanks for the encouragement. x
6 months, 2 weeks ago by Marie	Helen so sorry to hear you are still having problems. Let the police know your situation and phone them every time you get any hassle. Go to the boys parents and insist they deal with it. remember you are not alone, dont give up.

Finding carers

Its worth asking at the school/ nursery/ college/ centre the person you care for attends if you could put up a notice. There may be staff, students or volunteers that know your loved one interested in extra work, especially during holidays. It worked for me.

A gentle approach

Remember to keep positive and offer praise. Even if that's not your gut reaction. Our son used to poo behind the sofa. Realising this meant he was not using his nappy and choosing somewhere private was actually a step in the right direction.
