Just a place for anyone to be silly, playful and whimsical.
I watched the program with Chris Packham on Tuesday, my mother actually rang my wife to say she would be watching it. I thought wow, my mother is starting to accept my autism. I met her yesterday, the reply to the program was, “ you would think with all of Ken Bruce’s money, he would get a coach and get his son talking.” I had no answer apart from disbelief, I actually did try to explain, as Basil Fawlty said, “ you may as well explain it to the cat.”
Or, as my Gran said, "I may as well talk to the brush!"
It's probably cognitive dissonance. She thinks having an autistic child reflects badly on her, so she denies it, and denies all evidence that might prove it.
