I know, I know, it was 25 days ago but what with work, training and taking my daughter to Disneyland Paris for her 18th birthday, it has just flown past me.
Can you believe how far I have come I took my Autistic daughter to France by myself. Let’s face it her Autism is as hidden as mine is now and to be fair she understood the train system so much better than I did in Lille, France and it was her that got us to Disney.
I had 3 Diazepam's over the course of the day before travelling and then no more. That was 6mg in total. I realised they have become my safety blanket and I need to forget them now. 6 mg is the same as popping a mint in my month.
My daughter had two panic attacks on the way home. The first between me and a lovely English mum we calmed her down by distraction. The mum had them too so understood the importance of distraction.
The second I got her to lay her head back, close her eyes, deep breath for a few breaths and then had her suck on a Ginger Sweet. They are disgusting but they work. I took one for the team and had one with her.
