The only relation this has to spirituality is that it's a part of my life. A core part of my life and one I am constantly striving for strength in dealing with calmly.
Don't get me wrong I know my daughter's school is doing all they can to support her but badly written "social stories" are not going to help! And no my lovely little girl is not officially diagnosed as on the autistic spectrum yet but that's the diagnosis we are expecting as soon as gets her assessment.
A "social story" is supposed to short, clear based on concrete information and tailored to the individual. They are supposed to help with a concrete situation or event and be positive. They should be properly tailored not given a half-hearted go! Concrete and literal not talking about our hands "doing things" rather than us doing things with our hands!
And the results of this sort of stuff? Yet again I have to do a bit more research to make sure I know what I'm doing rather than just going on my instinctive dislike of something poorly written. Yet again I have to try and arrange yet another meeting at one of the schools. It's hard enough dealing with two different schools even when the staff are nice. I'm in Rowan's school at least once a week for the aftermath of a destructive outburst.
It's hard. I'm tired. It's only Monday!!
Rant over.
