She has been having 1:1 which is actually more like 2:1 for her swimming lessons for months. Water is a hazard for all children but for children like Bella who are unusually fascinated with it, it is a very real danger. Drowning is the biggest cause of death in children with Autism....but enough with the really happy talk *eye roll*

She couldn't swim and now she can, sort of. Hours of patience from her teacher is paying off, I'll be honest when I say that I do NOT have the patience for this one.
