Here’s your regular roundup of what’s making South Leeds tick on other websites, blogs and across Facebook.
Let’s start this week with the excellent Facebook page, Amber’s Autism Awareness, which is two shy of 100 “Likes”: “Autism parent fact – you have moments of extreme guilt. Are you giving your other children enough of your time, do they feel left out at all, is it fair when their sister attacks them for apparently no reason? You also feel guilty about dealing with the autism. It can sometimes feel that your suppressing your child’s natural instincts and pushing them to be more “normal” and fit in better, like your trying to cover up the condition in some way.”
