Mumble!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Must find camera....................

Am Fed Up With The Fluffy White Stuff....................... I lurve a good ol' snowball fight as much as the next lunatic person........... but telling me at 8.10 that schools shut (we have to leave at 8.15...) does not make for a happy little monkey... Am going in the garden to catch snowflakes on my tongue.............

Not sure if it'll be too old........ if little one is only four...... But, 'Different Croaks, for Different Folks' is a goodie.

Thank you <'>

Yep, count me in

Awwwwwww Shucks!! *goes all coy... * Thank you (except for you bads - you can have a slap for callin' me smelly..... ) <'>

Hehehehe love the mad ramblings (get your backside over to Facebook!!!)

Simon, may i be the first to wish you a happy birthday for next year...... Sorry i missed it - hope you had a great day

The reason for the 48 hour meltdown.............. ear infections *ouchie* Got some anti-biots now (tho you'd have thought i was asking for the earth, just to get a GP to go over.. ). So, hopefully, little one will be feeling better soon Suze............ no help/support/anything...........and he's one of 3 - all on the spectrum.. <'>

Yep, that's where my thoughts were going too Nells.. Thanks everyone <'>

Suze <'> Very limited communication/understanding... which is the biggest stumbling block.

Hi everyone, I'm a bit flummoxed, and could do with some help.... I'm supporting a mum who's little lad (ASD, 4) keeps having very long 'meltdowns'....... the latest lasting 24 hours! He doesn't want to be touched, but doesn't want to be left alone, screeching & running, can't settle to anything..... Anyone have similar - or any clues about how to deal with it, or calm him?? Calpol has been tried.... i was wondering if he was poorly, or in pain...

It's the cream for the A-Zone that makes me wonder....................................

It's not dead - it's sleeping....... very deep sleep........

Haaaaaaaappy burfday to you allll Happy burfday to you alllllllll Happy buuuurfday to everyone-whos-burfay-it-is-todayyyyyyyyy..... Happy Burfday to you all..........

I'd be happy to pop an info pack in the post

Ohhhhhh shock, horror - the hippie-dippy-(not to mention my synthasesia...)smiley is a musical thinker....... You are a Musical Thinker Musical thinker Musical thinkers: * Tend to think in sounds, and may also think in rhythms and melodies * Are sensitive to the sounds and rhythms of words as well as their meanings. * Feel a strong connection between music and emotions Like many musical thinkers, Leonardo loved to sing, and had a fine voice Other Musical Thinkers include Mozart, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix Careers which suit Musical Thinkers include Musician, Music teacher, Sound engineer, Recording technician I mostly try to avoid thinking - i find it hurts my head too much...

I feel the same .... hence why I rarely post now. I did wonder for some time if it was just a natural evolution of sorts.. members coming and going, and the dynamic of the forum changing.. but, within a relatively short space of time last year - many people went - and haven't returned. The reasons are not for me to guess - but a lot of people obviously felt the need to go. I miss the fun, friends and unwavering support.. I used to feel I could post any old drivel (and frequently did! ), but I now begin a post - edit the post, reread the post, change the post - then give up and don't post, for fear of upsetting someone, or being misunderstood.. Nells <'>

OOOoooooooooo.............. ........................ Erm............ sorry me love! (guess what....... I have been listening - but find myself wandering about getting sturf done.... and then realise I'm not listening... doomed I tell you...)

Hey there Mumblie, Yep - i understand what you're saying - and I do exactly the same thing. I've worked out it's because I ultimately don't feel in control or 'on top of' what work I need to do, I feel overwhelmed initially, which makes it impossible to focus, and then my mind will go blank - almost a quiet meltdown (that make sense?). Dunno if it's my ASD or my Lupus.. but either way, it's a pain in the behind sometimes. I like Tallys idea of giving yourself a set time for different activities - and also, I personally have to break everything down into smaller tasks - or the size (or at least, my perception of it..) of the task makes me shut down. Can't go wrong with a long walk either, to clear cobwebs. :-) Hope that helps. Nuff waffling from the blond one ;-) Hugs x

Hello I remember you.

I haven't had the chance to watch the programme yet, although quite a few parents have told me & called me about it today - I'll be catching up with it tonight on iPlayer .. time permitting.. But, I just wanted to agree wholeheartedly with BD - The quote i have highlighted above............. it is so, SO, SO good to read..

I was trying to persuade darling son to put it on his Christmas list................ HE doesn't want it.................. his mummy does!!! I've had a go on my friends............. and YETHHHHH!! They are very, very gigglesome

DARN IT!!!! Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaads!!! I could never get into that book - I'd pick it up, read a page or two, get bored n go find something more interesting to do............ My friends all kept nagging at me to read it - telling me it was truly worth the effort (and muttering something about the attention span of a gnat under their breath...)...... Anyhow, one of said friends gave me the audiobook as a gift for Christmas, in a last ditched attempt to make me at least listen to it............ Don't need to listen to the last page now do i.....................??!!??? HUMPH! <'>
