Hi, this is of no importance at all but was just wondering where everyone comes from. Iam in the St,austell area in Cornwall, very peaceful here and we have the new A30 so the traffic has dropped considerably which is a bonus.

Hi Harmony, your DD and my Abb same very similar. She does come out with some funny things at times, once i told her to stop pulling that face when she had been told off and as she turned around i said, Abb i told you to stop pulling that face and she said i have stopped pulling that face, this is a different one. The other day Abb was talking to me like something she stepped in and i said to her, who do you think you are! and she said, I know who iam, iam Abbie, Bless. I hope my Daughters gets on as well as yours. Many thanks

Hi thanks JSmum, Abb only has mild Aspergers, she can communicate well with people she is top of the class at school and she can give you good eye contact (Iam told a lot of Aspergers children cant) but because she does not stand out as special needs people just think she is being rude when she tells people wot she thinks, such as, why are you fat, and the other day she said to my Sister( thank goodness it was my Sister) what pet name do you call your fat tummy. If you ask her anything as well she must tell you every thing in detail from statr to finish and gets quite upset if you try and shorten the story for her. She is very fussy with her meals as well, she wont eat any thing that is touching anything else such as mash and beans, they must not touch. I have been trying for a couple of years to get the Doctors to refer her as she has some of the same traits as her cousin who is severly Aspergers but they said she is just mild and she should be able to go mainstream School but a i am worried as when she was younger she could get away with some of her behaviour but as she is getting older her friends are becoming more mature and Abb's seems quite childish and she is starting to get picked on because the kids can now see she is a little different. I get upset a little when children are mean to her and they can say the most hurtfull things but luckly it goes straight over the top of her head. Thankyou all for your replies, is there anybody else whos Child is going to be or is attending mainsteam School if so i would love to hear from you. many thanks

Hi thanks to everybody who replied, What you wrote harmony about the sugar made sense and Abb always gets really excited when something special is going to happen ( Easter) which then turns her nasty because she gets so worked up she does not know what to do with herself. i hope she grows to become aware of her clothes the things she comes down wearing at times is un believable

Hi, thank you to all who answerd replied, its good to hear from other people who are going through or been through the same thing, makes you feel less alone, Sorry Baddad i seem to have put your reply back on, dont no what happened there, when you mentioned about the guilt that brought a tear to my eye, i tend to lose the plot at times and shout back but it goes straight over my Daughters head and after i feel really guilty, (its like, who's the adult). Once again thanks

HI, hoped some one could come up with some good suggestions that might help me. I have a ten yr old who has mild aspergers, we believe dyspraxia and she also has coeliac disease. As late i am finding it harder to deal with her. I have a little boy of seven who suffers terribly at her hands, if things dont go her way she makes his life hell. She can be sweet as any thing, then really nasty with screaming tantrums and the usual door slamming. The thing i dont no if her behaviour at the moment is just her being horrid, she has the normal routine things like collecting the most strangest things, certain things need to be done in a certain way and so forth but with this behaviour at the moment there is no pattern and thats what i find hard. I love my Daughter and would do anything for her but at the moment i feel like i dont like her, i feel down with her and especially with myself for not being able to cope. Please dont think me a bad Mother, thats just how i feel at present. Thankyou
