@phinabutler: Today was just a shoddy day. Imagine trying to tell someone something but the words just won’t come out. It’s like being trapped in your own body. Today i failed Nate and couldn’t find the exact number blocks episode he was watching when his battery died and we spiralled for a good few hours. Our plans made today didn’t go ahead, wedding prep didn’t get done and dinner wasn’t made, but none of that matters to me, I’ll drop everything for him. Although meltdowns this big are rare for Nate they still happen and it’s just as heartbreaking every time. You can see my bottom lip go halfway through, it kills me to watch him so distressed and if I could just find that one bloody episode everything will be fine, but really it’s not just the episode we can’t find, it’s the voice and language he can’t find but knows exactly what he wants to say. I would be frustrated too. So instead we stayed home, got some fresh air and ordered takeaway. 🥡 We’ll try for a better day tomorrow. 💙🙏 Today autism sucks. #ASD #autismawareness #fyp #autismom #nonverbal

Half these comments I can’t even deal with. Imagine being this uneducated that you feel the need to comment that it’s a child who “isn’t getting what he wants or “the iPad is the problem” imagine that being your only release as a child who can’t communicate with anyone . Being stuck in your own thoughts must be the worse feeling in the world and not going through it day in day out you wouldn’t understand. Do people think he wants to hurt himself his mumma or anyone else. Unfortunately for him that’s his only way to self regulate. You would think in 2026 people would be more clued up . Poor boy and well done mum you did amazing ! You’re so so strong ! Very proud of you he loves you so much! X
