Autism and the Government

hi all i thought i would ask what everyone else was thinking on this subject to me the government dont really care from what i gather and i think its about time that they made people more aware of autism its like people dont care enough and its wrong i for one didnt know that what my little girl was showing was traits of autism if it wasnt for my sister and brother in law pointing it out we didnt put two and two together we just thought she was going through funny stages as it were because we didnt know what autism was yes we had heard of it obviously but we didnt know of any signs or that to look out for and i think people shoul be made aware of these signs for all our childrens sake so we can try and get early detection of this i suppose i,m just a bit angry that i didnt know our own child was showing signs of this condition and so many aswell yes the no talking or communicating we noticed but we put it down to she was just a late learner how sad is this? i think the government could supply classes or something so people can learn of the signs and traits maybe i,m wrong and maybe i,m just having a bad day of it today and need to let off some steam but it does make me angry as we had no idea that what she was showing was autism and we didnt know anyway i,ve finished ranting now sorry guys

  • i hear what your saying longman but i think we should be made aware of it and people should be taught about autism and how to spot it knowing what i know now the signs and traits are very important and should be taught to be people if it wasnt for my sister and brother in law we would not of known about our little girl especially this early on because we didnt have a clue about the traits of autism until they told us and then all the signs all fell into place which then we asked for an assessment for her and it really upsets me that i didnt know this myself and i think people should be taught this xxx
