Autism – should training be provided free of charge to parents and family members of children on the autism spectrum?

Training for Autism

Training for Autism

When our son John was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum (you can read about it here) we were offered a training course by the National Autistic Society called Early Bird.

While well meaning it was, in fact, total rubbish. And put me off the NAS for a few years.

However I am still of the view that decent training would be really helpful for parents of children who have been or in the process of being diagnosed with autism. What do you think?

It would be great if you could take part in the poll below. But also it would be great if you could tell us a bit more about the training courses you have received over the years.

If you provide training please tell us more in the comments section below.

Many thanks in advance.

  1. Parents/guardians and siblings should have free training made available, but to say that all family should have free training available would be too easy for corruptive forces to influence. Trolling and sadism have become major forces of destruction in our time, and so we must do what we can to protect those who are most at risk. People with autism are inherently vulnerable to peripheral attacks due to their ultra-focused nature, and so they generally won’t see someone psychologically hacking them until it’s too late. Free training shouldn’t be made available to people, willing to masquerade as distant family, looking for ways to improve their corruptive tactics.
