This diet thingy is hard eh? I am going back to a class this week. How much have you lost so far Baggy?

M used do this alot when he was younger. He still does it but not as much. I think it relates to a sensory issue.

Well done everyone on your losses. I have put on 3lb this week - back to class for me next week!

Hello I would gather as much evidence as you can. Take care Forbsay

M asks to go to the toilet alot. He does not do anything and I think it is to with stress or him being in a situation where he does not know how to handle. Forbsay

hello How are you all? I feel as though i have not been on here for ages. Different things going on.................... By the way I have now lost 13lbs! Forbsay

Hello My husband is a driving instructor. I will speak to him and see what he says. forbsay

I need to do some of these

I went to a review last week for M. It was ok. He is very capable however he has problems with his concentration. This has always been the case. School dr started asking if i wanted him tested for ADHD. I said not at the moment, however i would consider it in the future. He is very immature for his age. School teacher did not agree that he has this. She says he needs to know boundaries. School have never given us this concern before and it a school specifically for autistic children. The dr was basing this on what we were saying around the table. She did not even have his notes with her............... With the concentration and attent ion span. How do you know if it is related to autism or ADHD? Dr has now planted this seed of thought in my head............... One of my old school friends came up today and M was playing up big time........At least she knows what i have to deal with now on a daily basis...............

it was a plain iced cake with tent pegs stuck in with silver thread wrapped around them. she was taking photos and he had fingers in his ears. She told him to take them out and i said this is just something he does. His little sister replied he does this when he is excited -bless her.

Nope no photos or videos. However, he did rush to show me his presents when I came in from work. Loved his Dr Who Tardis, Cars T-shirt and dog kennel.............. Priceless! And my mum made him a pylon cake. Mind you i didn't think it really looked like pylons to be honest

I chose all his presents and never saw him open them as I needed to go to work Forbsay

Well i put on 3lbs last week. Very bad and stressful week. this week i lost 1lb of it Forbsay

Everything crossed for you.

Thanks for your replies. It is just a nightmare. He wants to go outside into the street. He does not play with the other kids. He just wants to run around the houses and ring people's doorbells and look in their windows.......................... All i do is shout at him when he is out in the street. He runs on the roads etc. But i feel as though i have got to let his wee NT sister out. I think it is because he has no boundaries outside - all he can see is an open street................. He is going to a birthday party today with one of the boys from his special school - i honestly don't know how it is going to go and I am dreading it.

M was pretty much non verbal until the age of 2.5. He is nearly 8 now and chats away. Early intervention is really important. Take care Forbsay

Before M used to be quite happy to play inside. However, now he wants out in the front garden and street to play. It is a nightmare as we have to watch his every move. His wee sister (NT) goes out to play as well and i think this is really important for her. However, some of the kids are making fun of M. I don't know what to do. M doesn't know that they are doing this. Do I say something to them or not? Forbsay

Welcome to the diet thread!

That is good news Pearl. Good luck with the follow up appointment. Forbsay

i wonder if you should just try and ignore it......... easier said than done though. Re your wee son not wanting the child to come and play at your house. My son likes everyone to be in their place where he expects them to be ie doesn't like seeing teachers at the shops etc............ M had an obsession when he kept calling people the wrong names. It used to drive us up the wall and he used to play games with his toys calling them wrong names. We used to put him out on the naughty step but eventually we ignored him. Take care - I know how exhausting it is. Forbsay

Sorry just seen your post. How did your meeting go? i have a meeting on monday about my wee boy and I haven't seen the reports either. Must speak to school about this tomorrow. Forbsay

Hi Hev My little girl who is nearly 5 and sounds exactly the same as your wee Katie.....................

My son likes to do this as well especially if there are balls involved..............

Pearl, your post made me laugh as well .................
