Which is honestly rich coming from a kid with 8 bazillion Squishmallows. I saw the synapses connect
In the moment before he went through the doors.

Fund public education. Tax the billionaires. I’d say eat the rich, but honestly? Ew. To quote the vegetables from the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol, “If he were a flavor you can bet he would be sour.”

Most parents are trying really fucking hard. Most teachers are underpaid and overworked. Parents and teachers turn on each other, but they’re both being failed by the system.

Teachers don’t have the resources they need to help these kids, everyone is broke, and parents are overwhelmed. Even if you realize why your child is struggling, the gatekeeping of care is almost insurmountable for so many families.

You need time, resources, and a shit ton of insurance to get your kid any kind of help. I’d bet good money that the vast majority of these “feral” kids have unmet sensory support needs. I don’t think this is a failure of parenting as much as it’s a systemic failure.

Knowing how much time and effort parents of neurodivergent kids spend on waitlists and arguing with admin to get their kids support, it’s disheartening to hear everyone shout about a lack of parenting.

It’s masochistic, really, because my child struggles in school. Not academically, just with the everything else of it. The people-ing.

It will forever be the greatest mail I have ever received 😂

And then I’ll explain that you’re also the one who sent the John Smith postcard and it will all click into place.
