    nah they r not bothering to close schools, well they didn't up here, even when they had a few cases, and most children have recoverd well and not developed any complications.

     

    Incubation period is 7 days for swine flu but symptoms normally appear b4 that, hopefully u manage to avoid it! I have managed to avoidd it so far.

    I know how he feels!

     

    I also must say even IF he did go to scouts, chess clubs, church etc he is unlikely to make real friends, he may manage to be sociable enough to get on with them while they are at the said place, but outwith that the friendship probably would not work. Esp something like Scouts or Church he may just be very quiet and not appear interested in making friends even though he is. Chess i suppose u have a bit more of a chance as u would play people 1:1? not sure.

     

    sorry to be so negative :(

    trouble with things like that is as soon as you know anything about ASDs the questions become incredibly obvious in which way you should answer to get an aspie score. which is suppose is a good indicator for why self-diagnosis of anything is so dangerous.

     

     

    true it would be easy to select the desired answers to get a high score, but i am pretty sure most people answerd truthfully. like I knew certain answers would increase my aspie score, but i still answerd these honestly if it was not a trait that affected me so increasing my NT score :)

     

    still managed a high aspie score tho, but some of the questions were a bit weird, like do u like it when someone stamps their foot? er i don't think anyone likes that do they?? or someone walking behinde you.

    picture symbols and progressing on to PECS?

     

    when he points to a picture encourage to say the word as well.

     

    e.g jigsaw or cars? he will point to a picture and u just repeat the word for him, jigsaw?

     

    this also teaches how to make choices. and also helps to teach word recognision too, as the word tends to be written on the card too.

     

    but your son is still very young,

     

    or when offering food or a drink.

     

    orange or blackcurrant? show both bottles, he points to one he wants, and you then repeat.......orange. hopefully in time he will manage to repeat what you have said.

     

     

    sorry not to have more advice, as it all seems very 'simple' but thats all i would attempt at this stage.

    I'm 26 and still live at home! So i guess I am very old to be still living at home!

     

    I earn less than ur dd. perhaps ask her to pay one of the household bills if she does not wish to up her housekeeping.

     

    I pay £200 per month plus pay a bill by direct debit.

     

    i would not back down though. if moving out is a mistake then she will learn from that.
