  1. Congrats to the pregnancy and heres to a nice text book one
  2. Hey that is great news and it gives me hope then at least because we also did the 're-consideration' thing.
  3. Aww sweet...this has just reminded me of my major obsession with the cartoon 'the rugrats' I was soooo obsessed with these from the age of 12 right through to being 19 years old! I bought over �1000 worth of rugrats related things and would cloect anything that had even a picture of them on it. I would talk about the rugrats all the time...did school projects on the rugrats. used to talk to my friends about them...lol I grew out of that but it just again makes me think why school/6th form did not ever think this was abnormal. I mean a couple of times i would go into class (6th form when i had some money) with santa sized bags full of rugrat dolls toys etc...but people just used to laugh and think it was sweet etc!! To me it was something I had to do because i was obsessed...lol My obsession that i have had since the earliest age and sometimes even are human eyes when they are unconcious/asleep!! I have no idea why but it is something i have known since being a young child. I also like to find answers to peoples problems and wont stop until i find it. I also like leanring about medical/surgical problems. I used to read books on illness's when i was a kid and i watch all the medical tv programmes. I obsess when someone is ill and try to find out what the cuase is etc.
  4. I agree that he does display some of the traits for sure. I also feel that poor kinga is very mush so ADHD....
  5. If he is anything like I was as a kid then he must be feeling kinda excited about the potential prospect of the theme park Camealot is a great place and there is soo much to do. They have there own website and maybe it will tell you a bit more about the place. It will of course be peak season and so this place will be very busy indeed. If he likes the ideas of fun fair rides and watching jowling events then his mind should be distracted. I dont understand though why they will not allow you to go with him! Have you spoke to ds about all of this yet? If so what is he saying about it? Does your ds have AS od ASD?
  6. Like I said in my earlier post earplug were and still are the norm for me and I can not go anywhere with out them. I use them to sleep, I use them to study and in extreme moments i use them to block all sound during stressful times (of course not in pblic though because that is why we have fingers...lol) I use blue tac it is cheap and fantastic and sooo much better than the regular commercial stuff
  7. I am from Lancashire, northwest england
  8. Hi I am 24 female with diagnosed AS (was diagnosed 2 months ago). I also have adhd and dyslexia. From what I know not every one with aspersger show all the same or similar traits? I have always felt really confused because some of the common traits gordie mentioned dont seem to fit with me diagnosis I have an imagination and I can play pretend play if i have to. Like with my daughter who is 4 i will pretend to be a princess or a pony etc... That really above is my only worry about my AS is that i dont think i actually have a problem when it comes to imagination. I could write fantasy storys as a kid. Also another thing with me is trying to understand what people actually mean when they say they 'dont understand how people feel'? I dont have a problem with that either. I meanwhen someone is crying i know they are sad and when someone. Like when I go to funerals i know that again people are very sad. Is that the thing that you mean?
  9. Hi thanks agin everyone for the warm welcome and im pleased that i have been able to give some people insight into how life has been during my school years (although the stuff i mentioned it literally only about 1% of the way school was for me, i could of gone on forever but there is just to much).
  10. Hi welcome to the boards im also new to here and im also an adult with AS! For things to do on my own I tend to spend most of it on the internet i could live on the internet. I especially like to find out more about my own conditions and tend to read alot of information on adhd. Not quite got to AS as yet because it was only recnetly diagnosed. I find the weather very interesting (but then dont most people in the uk..lol...it always pops up in topic conversation at least once a day). The weather intrests me when it is bad. I like tracking storms on the internet.
  11. Hey there Lemony, I have only just found this place also (exactly 24 hours ago to be exact) and have to say that it is a great place and you get very fast reponses from very caring and understanding people. I am an adult with AS, ADHD and dysleixa. Hey I totally understand about the education issues but on the bright side you fought a winning battle up to now right! Im just pleased that he will be getting the help he needs. The earlier the better.
  12. It could just be down to his autism because I know that certain sounds make me feel angry and I sometimes put my fingers in my ears. I think sensitive hearing is more my problem though. I cant stand anyone that crunches food near to me. I cant stand any sound at all when i go to bed and for the past 12 years i have slept with ear plugs. I cant stand background noise when i try to read at home or at uni and so again put my fingers in my ears. So I think it may just be down to his AS. He has also perhaps goten used to familar nosies and routines around your house and when someone visits then to him it is like the world has ended because maybe he was not expected them people around or to make the sounds they do.
  13. Again to the others that have welcomed me aboard thanks waccoe I just decided about 2 months into my course that maybe I could ask for some extra time in my exams because of my ADHD (AS was not diagnosed at that point amd nor was dyslexia). I felt so uncomfortable and akward trying to explain what ADHD was and how it affected my studys at times (like being able to concentrate etc). I then had to go through internal assessments via the educational psychologist at uni and it was there that they also diagnosed my dyslexia (i finally had an excuse all these years for my spelling being as poor as it was!) and said that my IQ was above average and i was on the 91st centile (whatever that means). So waccoe the answe i guess is no it was me that made the move and i am pleased that i did it (although at times it has not mean as smooth going as i would of liked). I agree that it is very much so possible with the right help for people with AS to get through uni. I just hope that it is alot easier for your kids than it was for me. But hey universitys are getting better and better these days! Finally! I also find it real tough right now to decide what area of law I wish to work in. However I have it in my head (subject to change of course..lol) that family law would be a good one to choose. I say this because the cases in family law do not involve an over whelming amout of people because matters in family law tend to be dealt with in confined rooms or small court rooms. Also if a case was to go to the crown court then it would be ok because i would not need to talk because that will be the job of the barrister. I also like the idea of education law, however since I have not touched upon this area in my course then i would need to read more into it. Education law sounds interesting because it will involve kids and dults that are suffering discrimination because of their special needs. I just wish that I had of been more educated as a child because my schools could of been in alot of trouble. TuX I did not get to see much on that because but it would of been alot better if there was an actual footage shot of it in action. I just love to track hurricances more than anything though. I go to a website call wunder and that is where i get all my fun. There is curently no tropical cyclones at the moment though so it is pretty quite. Nice to know that you also have AS and adhd like me. What age did you get diagnosed with both then? Also Admum small world huh Thanks for the kind words. Im just dreading the LPC!
  14. Hey this is sooo true when it comes to adults being left untreated or wrongly diagnosed. I was diagnosed as having a personality disorder as a teen when infact it was actully primarily down to the fact that my severe adhd had been left untreated and undiagnosed for too long and it rendered me as being diagnosed with other dconditions because they could never pin point my odd erratic behaviour/symptons.
  15. Hi, I am not sure if this is an AS thing or not but when I was 11 (im now 24 and have AS, ADHD and dyslexia) I only ever remember swearing like that once and that was to my dad and i told him to f-off. I never swore at my dad again after that ill tell you...lol I did however (as I aged to to mid teens) begin with that behaviour with my mum. I would mainly put that though down to untreated ADHD. As for your daughter has she ever been thought to have ADHD? It is just a thought and sometimes it is worth asking the most obvious questions first before trying with other less obvious reasons.
