Re very disabled autistic children, parents say that socialisation isn't the aspect t they miss of special needs education, but basic things like toilet training and that they have regressed in this respect. Maybe I'm totally missing something, but might parents not have a significant part to play in maintaining their child's welfare in this respect or does it invariably have to be somebody else's responsibility? Not saying it's easy.

I have been wondering about this too.

I thought autistic people were generally non-social. So seeing all these autistic kids on the news saying they miss their friends confuses me.

More especially with the "pre-verbal" children. One parent was making the point that toileting is a major regression since not getting the special education which focussed on maintaining basic living functions rather than education as we know it. They are really all in different situations, in many, but not all cases the patents being the best experts, especially with a bit of support.

De cat's all ears.

Thought it sounded like an Antrim glens sort of accent.

War's de name of de dog? Type? Gender? Colour? Age? History? Any facts at all?

One often wakes up with shattering teeth after de big surgeries, nature's way of warming herself up post anaesthetic. Horrible that she had nobody to reassure her.

shearforce

nope

My mother was always very anti-abortion; however she was very much for anybody who was raped or coerced being offered abortion no matter what the church thought.

sligojoek

She should have checked the social worker.

Was the dog named?

About the only person still posting here today is Catmaniac. I assume I switched off at the right time.

I have a theory now why the ads during Liveline is so low in money making, its so Joe can push ahead with his agenda for weeks on end and Dee can't complain about loss of revenue from people switching to NewsTalk.

There were no supports for single parents until about 90s, as far as I can remember.

Edit, and then people were antsy about them when they came in, especially when it subsequently was exploited in certain situations as always things will be.

No but the accent of the bark sounded feminine.

Must look dat up, I'm only going by vague memories. Anybody in family who in 90s became single parents were greatly supported by the family. One such had a one night stand with a girl after a party and she became pregnant. He didn't even know her name, but the outcome is like a fairy tale as they got together, fell in love, got married, raised a family and now the couple are a special needs teacher, an engineer and both do major voluntary work and have the happiest family going. The entire family gave full support, and made contact with the girl's parents overseas and made binds with them.

Another example I knew about was a 5th/6th year lad in my cousin's school in south Dublin "made" a girl pregnant by consensual relationship, and common sense prevailed in not having them marry., but his family made significant contributions to finance their grandchild's upbringing and allow the young parents to their separate ways (apart from his playing his due role in having contact with child) and pursue their chosen careers. That was middle class Dublin, but of course my own friend who became pregnant before her fully intended wedding in her 20s was disowned by her "ambitious" middle class parents. Mother used to often be speak in Gay Byrne Show, have her letters printed in the Times etc.

McGinniesta

After all this time I still cant understand why any parent would disown their own child over an unwanted pregnancy.

McGinniesta

was the dog assaulted and disowned by her parents caller?

Was right, she is a Glens woman. Dog named Taisie after Glen Taisie.

Did 'document' the women signed that Joe is waffling on about.

Would the 'document' being signed by the mothers need to witnessed by a Peace Commissioner when they were signing.

I and my friend are still trying to work that out. As my mother said, her parents (mother in particular) put more store on "social status" than the live of their child. Her grandmother, a long time widow who reared her horrible mother (no siblings), was a very loving woman and embraced the grand-daughter no matter what. We wonder did she inherit her horrible nature from her father, and she's trying to do a bit of genealogy to try and track down was it a matter of one parent being horrible by nature and the other being more under their thumb with very unfortunate results.

Happened and still happens im afraid, what would be the outcome if say one of Duffys children or some other young one of that class came in to her parents and said "mam I met a guy and im expecting his child, hes one of the guys from the halting site but hes reaaaly lovely.. I've a feeling a holiday to the aunty in the states would be booked pretty rapid in most cases

Yes this could still happen, especially if the daughter in such a situation were in early 20s and/less able to vocalise what they would prefer to do.
