CarolineJ Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Hello I'm Caroline, mum to 4 sproglets, up in the North East of England. I've been lurking here for quite a while, but finally plucked up the courage to register after getting a diagnosis for our 7 year old son last week. Bim has always been extra special and as such, we've tried to get some support for just about all of his life. It was only last year that we got taken seriously. Bim's now been diagnosed with AS by the Consultant Psychiatrist at our local CAMHS. I should mention that Bim's given name is Liam, but he always goes by his nickname I'm here to hopefully get some support and advice for what's likely to be a long road ahead. I look forward to getting to know you all Caroline Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flora Report post Posted March 26, 2008 Do you miss the North? My DH is in the RAF and we've managed to swap postings before so we've got to stay up here. We want to stay forever. I do miss it, but mainly because my closest friends live up there... I try to go up as often as I can but that isn't very often! I do like it down here though Flora X Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
