he sounds adorable :) I have probably pondered this question before but there seems to be something intagible that we and others find really endearing about our kids. My mum says she can listen to my Matthew for hours, she says he is fascinating.

 

Great news that he is no longer scared of dogs, you couldn't get Bowler round here could you ;)

:unsure: Hmmm ... I don't see why you would need to take your phone upstairs from now on as a result of this - where's the negative side to what happened? :huh:

 

Excuse my ignorance, but I'm struggling to see what is embarrassing for you about any of this. You should be very proud.

I'm also trying to work out what the source of the problem is, if there even is one.

 

My guess is that it was just never your intention for your son to learn so much so soon in case it did him harm. I know that there is a problem when parents tell their kids, then the kids come into contact with "Autism is horrible child-snatching disease. kill it!!" but it's not so bad here in Britain, just the US and Canada.

Sorry James and Lucas I guess there is not really a problem - but I do worry that Matthew lives 24/7 with me and my support and campaign work. My eldest is often totally fed up with it but I have to admit that Matthew appears to actually like feeling involved and soaks information up like a sponge. But am I being fair to him? Matthew is Home Educated so he can't even escape during the day. I do not think that it will harm Matthew at all but I do wonder if he will grow wondering if there is not more to life than autism? I guess that sounds silly when he is autistic.

I see. :) Well it's probably good to give this a little bit of thought, but don't dwell on it too much. As long as it's there at the back of your mind, that should be enough to enable you to keep Matthew's exposure to your work in check to a certain extent. I mean if you didn't care at all, you'd probably find yourself letting him overhear even more than he already does. :wacko:

I hereby bring my expression of wholehearted agreement as to the use of the term 'professor', this brilliant one being also used to characterize me today as aged 42 as well as when I was around 20 years old.
