Thumb sucker or nail bitter or not just ensure they wash their hand with soap and water after going to the toilet and before eating.

Ironing? What's that?
I have a steam generator, but it all depends on your budget what you go for.

I know this is not the first time this has happened but this time you have an 'official' on your side. Let them have a 'word' this time and if it happens again i would then go for complaint. If the station commanders wife is warned of her libels behaviour she may well take heed and stop. If she doesn't I am sure there are measure to make a complaint to the commander regarding his wifes inappropriate behaviour!
Even if what she is saying were true then it is still inappropriate for her to make remarks and comments.

If you are thinking of buying a car and not leasing one then go direct to the dealers as they offer better interest (or 0%) than motability. Dealers will often also lease through their own disabled services...often better rate than motability. Shop around before committing

In my local shops and supermarket, local is with 20 miles for me, I have had no problems really. I put a lot of that down to the fact I have been seen with my lad and the initial stares have gone and also as he is getting older it is VERY obvious something is a miss with him as he talks like a little boy and he is 12 very soon!
It also helps that the shops are in small towns and not large towns or cities.
Today in the library we had such a good reaction from the librarian when my lad was becoming stressed. We had a previous conversation about him being home ed etc several weeks ago. As soon as he was showing signs the librarian who was helping him find a book rushed his booking out through and made a note to find some more books on the subject for him later.
However further a field we get stares. No comments as yet, I think my deliberate glare back says it all to them
Dundee the shops are brilliant as there appears to be full understanding of autism problems for the parents of the children....this due to a apparently high portion of ASD children in the area. So they see more children having meltdowns in store and realise the parents are not at fault!

The dog was probably frightened to death as it was lost so a friendly face would have reassured it. You did the right thing bending down as it showed you were no threat. Even when a dog shows it's hackles it does not necessary mean they will attack. More likely they are frightened of you and like cats making themselves look big and sound nasty. A quickly friendly high pitched voice stops it!
I found a lost little boy on Saturday. Unfortunately he had no collar
so I took him to the nearest shop and an assistant who took him to security. What a pity mum had not 'trained' him to stay near by..he had no difficulties, just lost. Made me even crosser that everyone just walked by staring at him whilst he cried for mummy. They had no need to touch him, I didn't, all they had to was find a shop or a security guard and they would do the rest! -
my son always sees these too!

My son is 11, nearly 12, and he up until recently always held my hand as it made him feel safe. However my arm and hand were beginning to get very sore at trying to hold him back from running. I recently had a chat with him and he has progressed to a wrist strap, very unsure of it at first as he no longer felt safe. We are now working on an alarm
However this has resulted in him standing almost touching me as he doesn't like the alarm going off. Still better than having to grab him all the time!
At his age he, and I, get stares for wearing a wrist strap...but I give stares back and if they continue I ask if they have problem...usually does the trick
I just wish folk would engage brain and think...oh that's not usual, probably the boy has a problem -
They have 45 working days to reply or inform you of a delay and why.
-
well it sound like he has not gone along with the school and is working independently, as he should, to discover the truth. Now if he comes down on 'your side' it's in the bag!
-
I had not doubt from what you said earlier it would go to court. You have got little choice as if you don't do something in years to come it could come back and, as in all whispers, be turned back as your abuse and not the schools neglect.
Now watch them loose papers, lie and try and wriggle out...of course it will be your fault you know!
According to my LEA I am starving my son because he eats like a horse and is a skinny as a rake:rolleyes:
Solicitor demanding medical evidence as I type! -
ok I want you all to adopt me as your children get more a week than I currently have in my purse!
I can't afford much, my daughter get 30p a week and my son 2p a chore ...they don't complain as we are not materialistic so they have nothing to buy.
-
Do schools and LEA employ people who are adept at lying? Because it appears to me they do because the lie so well. Schools would not have irate (seen as stupid) parents on their door steps if they just told the truth and said 'sorry, we got it wrong'! GRRRRRRR I feel a rant coming on!
-
My son asked when he was 5 why he was different. Although we had no, and still have no diagnoses he is probably autistic. When he asked we explained he had a short circuit in his brain, he is in to robots, and sometimes things he hears and sees get lost in his short circuit.
Unfortunately when he was in school the teachers decided to be the parent and tell him there was nothing wrong with him and he was just a bad boy then go to chastise me for telling him there is
They then were surprised when I bit back and my son got totally confused which lead to more 'bad behaviour' as he now felt he was not understood! -
Oh drat I followed the link and wound up watching some of the 'entries'.
Now I am depressed
and disappointed in myself that I watched the drivel! -
So were you treated for your post traumatic stress syndrome? Or are they just treating for stress?
-
A friend told me of this today. A similar thing actually happened to my son HERE in the UK!
The question was 'who do you NOT want to sit next to?'. They all voted for him and the teacher acted on it and he sat alone until I pulled him from the school.
Not only is it wrong but it's HORRIBLE and bullying that has been instigated by someone in authority who is supposed to be setting an example to impressionable young minds (and from a Head Teacher at that).....I don't want that kind of teaching given to my children thank you!
MadmeOther parents with children with disabilities have also subsequently removed their children. Unfortunately there are some people who just shouldnt be teaching
Yep...remove bullying teachers and staff!

that's up to but I was told by the tax credit people themselves to apply whilst awaiting an outcome of DLA and I told them the claim had failed.
-
No don't wait. I told them I had applied for and even though my son didn't get it first time round they still paid...and I told them my son failed to get it!

I know how you feel, you get suspicious of every professional in the end. But sometimes you just have to try first with them. They aren't all bad

nurse specialist from CAMHS came to my house today. She saw immediately just how fidgety my lad is and how his attention kept wandering from task.
She more or less said he is on the autistic scale.
She asked him if he knew he was different, he does and always has done as he asked me when he was 5 why he couldn't do the things other boys his age could do. She felt it important he knew and there was nothing wrong with being different, I told him he is not different he is 'special'.

I put in fish oils too and the amount.

Not had a child use them but when my father was very ill he had them and also a old neighbour of mine was brought back to health from the very brink of death using them, she could keep nothing else down. If your GP thinks he needs them he will give a good supply for your money, far cheaper than the shops. A nutritionist will not just advise on a healthy diet but will also help to get him to eat more when they can and show you ways to help you. I would not dismiss them out of hand because they may or may not take blood...that's your choice to say no when asked about it.
If you have concerns about his weight go and see his GP and get what help you can for him.
