Parent Carer Help

12/09/2026

Not being able to 'understand' your child during their meltdown, tantrum or other behaviour, can create fear or confusion, but it can also open the door to personal growth as a parent carer.

Learning to accept what cannot be controlled can help you develop patience, resilience, and a deeper understanding of your child & for the journey of caring throughout your lifetimes.

Continue to be curious about your child's behaviour and ask yourself "what are they trying to tell me?"

Food for thought on a Sunday!

I really could use some kind words right now! I am just an ordinary mum after all, just like you.

SICKNESS, SUPPORT & STRENGTH.

Hey peeps. I know I'm always there for you,on this page, however my son is really really unwell and verging on another emergency dept visit and admission to hospital. BUT I really could use some kind words right now! I am just an ordinary mum after all, just like you

Anyone with an autistic kid (+ he's a PDAer) KNOWS just how hard this is for the child and for the whole family. Even moreso when he's been previously traumatized by the medical system.

My son has lost nearly 15 kg in 5 weeks.

He has a gut issue that is not yet diagnosed despite 2 nuclear med scans, 2 MRI, 2CTscans and an endoscopy. We are only just scraping the surface. It's putting my advocacy and skills to the test!!

The dietician feels he will be admitted to hospital in the coming days😭. We're currently taking one day at a time.

If you or your kid is into fishing, please support him by subscribing to his fishing channel.

It's called ....The Kyakka

And I would love, if you can afford it, for you to "buy me a coffee" Here's the link:

It will help so I can put the money towards surprising him with a new rod and reel. That will keep his spirits up in the long road ahead.

2 SERIOUS DIAGNOSES THAT COULD HAVE PROVED FATAL IF NOT ADDRESSED.

Today we have some answers for my kiddo.

In 4 weeks: 5 emergency admissions, 6 separate blood draws, 1 hospital stay , 4 Litres of IV hydration.

5 CT/ MRI/ Nuclear med scans. 2 abdominal xrays. 1 chest x-ray.

1 endocrinology consult, 1 upper GI specialist referral, 1 lower GI specialist referral, 1 immunology referral, 1 dietician referral,

All urgent.

All had to be negotiated gently with our PDAer. Getting the scans DONE were the important part.

And I as the parent of a PDAer and registered nurse, helped him get understood by all the professionals.

An understanding that at ANY TIME their PDA meant they could 'usain bolt' out of the door, hurt themselves, trash the place or attack the medical staff.

And, I ensured that they were listening & understanding of when my kid said "I want to go to hospital- I feel like dying" that means they're feeling REALLY SICK.

They're not putting it on, making it up, or trying to get attention.

Listen to your child. I took a picture of my kiddo to show the doctors just how sick he looked. And they were all shocked. Pictures tell a 1000 words.

You need to advocate HARD to get the advice you need to get 'closer to' a diagnosis.

I knew how to push for certain things. Quicker referrals, quicker scans that were marked urgent but they couldn't do it for another 2 weeks despite my kiddo not being able to eat.

I pushed for quicker action, for looking at the not so obvious things rather than accepting 'it's probably just constipation' There's so much more I can't put into words right now!

Join my group over on Skool for my ongoing help. It's essential that we advocate for our health as carers and our kids / young adults.

I know how the system works. 30 + years as a Registered Nurse. I know a few things too.

You need to know how to get ANSWERS. Whether it's for you or your child/ young adult.

Join my group. TODAY. Get educated.
