Ya manus 😂

There may be disability specific NGOs related to your bros diagnosis that could be helpful too. Your dad will have had his own ways of doing things but it’s ok for you to do it differently! Where in the country are you? (Feel free to DM) It can be lonely as an adult sibling .

Yes- parent to parent is the org. Their main role is supporting parents 😅 but they support siblings too. I’m not sure if they currently offer it (I did it years ago). They may be able to point you to other supports though.

Do you know about/have you done adult sibling support workshops from parent to parent (or similar)? No magic answers but you are not alone

Well done you. For getting it done and for letting it go with tears afterwards. Such an awful system.

I hear ya- My Mum is passing on what I need to know for my bro too. A privilege but it’s weighty.

Your friendly therapist reminder to do something today that moves the needle, no matter how slight, towards the world you want to see. Donate a few bucks to a gofundme or mutual aid. Research ways to get involved in a cause that aligns with you. Have that conversation with someone. Move your body.

Oh bugger

Hope you get some good news soon and the kids can continue to live in the manner to which they have become accustomed 😁

Darn kids

My great x6 gf invented the steam engine… reading about his life and all signs point to autism 😂

A nice day out! 😺

What about an adult sized scooter or e-scooter?

Just expressing what everybody else is feeling

School swimming sports and some clever parents have brought along camp chairs and cheese + crackers. Living in the future!

Congratulations family! What a delightful little chap!

Wine and cookie for the return journey because I am classy like that.

My public transport adventure continued with a lime scooter and now a bus as Panmure station’s fire alarm went off. Didn’t want to wait around and I saw a bus going where I want to go.

Successful transfer at Puhinui to eastern line. This is so easy.

What a nice train! And nice staff! Brought my breakfast with me and bought a coffee. No complaints 😀

Early morning for me! Catching Te Huia for the first time!

That’s why I like below deck 😀 Quantity of mafs is better though!

How is this season? I swore I wouldn’t watch it again after the last season but…

💯

Will be my job for tomorrow morning

Thanks. 72 hours is good to know. Got a bit of time.

On hold with healthline. Do I need a tetanus jab after being cut with dirty scissors? Had my last one ?9 years ago. Not an especially deep cut..

Messy play! Bubbles and slime!

Yes. And also yes.
