IntenseWorld

Please support:

Parents

  • Shockingly, I have met two parents of our local ASC support group that have suffered this issue, and they both know other people in similar positions.

    It's really important that people realise this is a real issue and support it.

    I have contacted the NAS campaigns asking for their response on challenging this issue and am awaiting their reply.

    I couldn't believe some of what I have been told by the people who have been through it.  There seems to be a common thread:

    • professionals are unable or incompetent to diagnose a condition so blame the parent, often the mother for inducing problems;
    • families fighting for supports they are entitled to find professionals using this as a way to refuse services (due to cost) and it's easier (and much cheaper) to blame the parent.

    Please everyone sign this petition, it could happen to you when you least expect it.
