'I have an autistic child - I'm sick of people using the condition as an excuse for bad behaviour'
Parenting isn't easy for anyone, but for those with children on the spectrum, it often comes with extra challenges. Autism diagnoses in England have soared by 787 per cent in the past two decades, a recent study has shown. Researchers say the 'explosive' rise is likely due to increased awareness about the condition.
That’s the case for Altrincham mum Renée White, who says she is sick of people using autism as a “get out of jail free card”. Renée, whose 23-year-old son Aidan has autism, thinks people using the condition as an 'excuse' reflects unfairly on the majority of people with an autistic spectrum disorder.
“It’s an unfair representation of people in the community; it’s almost like, ‘I’ve done something really bad and I need a get out of jail free card, I’ll try to see if I have autism or if I’m on the spectrum and I’ll use that’,” Renée added. Aidan was diagnosed with autism when he was two-years-old and has attended special needs schools throughout his life. Currently, he is studying at college.
