We have cordless bitatone handsets and they can be locked so no keys being pressed will work you just press and hold down the orange button to lock or unlock. We had another type that would dial 999 even if locked we took them back to argos within minutes of getting them out. My mobile also will not dial 999 if locked nokia and LG do this that I know of. The advantage of cordless phones is they can be kept on a shelf and charged at night once the little darlings are not about. Thing is I wish they would not do the 999 talk with 4 year olds, my son thinks he can tell the police if I take a toy off him or such like.

When on a course recently we talked about this the other thing that was sugested was pressure vests like sports people wear look at preassure vest on ebay its tight fitting and can be worn under normal clothes. they do them in childrens sizes I just can't find any at the moment ETA look at surf vest

Another one whose ds does it, his fingers and toes are raw and bleeding with have tried the nail bite stuff but he became violent towards whoever put it on, so I have to leave it to his dad to do as he was really hurting me and I was worried he'd hurt the baby as he is stomach height. We were told it is classed as self harm so make sure camhs or consultant knows and DLA people.

Glad to see you are behaving yourself

A brim of a hat should not be wider than your shoulders unless you are off to ascot. As for shapes it depends on your face shape, I have some info on my PC upstairs I will try and remember to sort it out for you, you are more than welcome to ask any question shame your not on Teesside or you could come and play with my hats.

Would not a photo shoot of the children of been better, saying we are here we exist, our parents fight every day for our basic rights help them.

I did try to make a effort and find the pj bottoms to match the top but sadly they are somewhere in my washing ironing or putting away pile All mams with autistic children make a effort mine is to wash and dress before ds destroys the house or finds the key and wanders off or hurts himself, I then make a effort to do the school run without him running out in front of a car or hurting another child, I then make the effort to get through the day without a meltdown (mine or his ) my whole day is a effort. As for dressing up and makeup I'll leave that to my nearly 6 year old or ds he walks better in heels than I do. I got the impression from the article it was we were a success before autism affected our lives and we have given so much up, well we all do, ok I choose to give it all up when dd was little. I would love to know who the campaign is directed at parents telling us to pull ourselves together or policy makers saying help us.

Have a great time and I'm happy to help with any hat questions as I think I'm our only resident milliner.

Oh no am I a bad mother due to wearing my ancient jogging bottoms and my husbands homer Simpson PJ top or am I just a mother who's husband is on late shift and took dd to school while I stayed at home with ds and had my arm hugged. I'm sorry but its not a representative group, they all have successful lives where are the mothers who want or need to work, the ones who can't afford legal fees and systems to help.

So sorry to hear this, glad things are looking better today and I hope the news on the break is not too bad <'>

Great news glad you have it sorted.

you need to be in a union just for the legal cover as more and more children are making allegations against staff, and although you might not be in the position you may be called on to support someone you work with and you need to know your rights.

The nitty gritty is fantastic we have had many combs but it is the best my dd was always infected with them after school we used the nitty gritty and her hair would be clear each morning eventually the problem was solved when we switched schools. You can get a nitty gritty comb on prescription have a look on their website. Just put loads of value conditioner in the hair and comb through. I have very long thick curls and a normal comb won't go through my hair but the nitty gritty does.

I'm in two minds about this as a teacher, who qualified for adult education I find this would appeal for me to retrain to work with primary or secondary, but on the other hand if it was for some one who had just graduated then I'd worry. I have skills that can be adapted, I can do lesson plans, schemes of work, assessments, IEP's with my eyes shut (well not quite) but lack the relevant age group experience. But at age 22 just graduated then I would not of had the skills and I would of let my students down.
