Catching Up

Yesterday I went to my old college St John Rigby with Claire. It was good to see all of the staff there and catch up. I never really realised how much I miss being there.

With that being said I know that moving onto a higher level of education is a good thing. Talking to the Chaplin reminded me of just how far I have come. Not just in the usual way, but also with how much I know myself. I know who I am, where I want to be and what I need to do.

I'm really proud that Claire has decided to stick at education. She's had a rough time at Wigan and Leigh and almost gave up on education in general. But now, after going meeting the staff with me as I was catching up with them she has changed her mind.

I'm really looking forward to going back into education started university level work. I will do it at a local college as I don't feel up to getting a train to go to a real university yet. I think it's hard for the parents of younger autistic children to look forward. Sometimes it seems like no progress is being made and that can be hard. Honestly, think back a year or two, I bet your child has improved, maybe a little, maybe a lot, but the improvement is there.
