I shall google you and get back......pleae don't google me

Although this is a forum for aspergers and the like I will still reply as many people may be affected with relatives having a dementia .I really have to disagree with you . I am well aware of the diagnostic criteria for dementia my point was that Alzheimers is a certain formation of brain cells that cvan not be guessed upon, a probable diagnosis can be given and even medication started but my point is that it is not a definate . I personally think you may have spent too lonmg on wikipedia for your research and are sendign out false or misleadign information to the genral public ......please be mindful when you post especially when you have limited and biased information

Hope she gets well soon xx

what I did not mention is that my son is very academic, not as in spending ages over his work but almost knowing his subjects, now he is not a savant autistic person but just very bright and I found mainstream schooling could not manage this and I think a lot of his behaviours was due to lack of understanding from teachers and the like and the fact he was bored and very frustrated and he was also very very unhappy

Just wanted to mention how great my son's school is. Some of you may know in his schooling life he has approximately 100 exclusions 4 permanant and 2 from special needs schools and spent many months at home. Now he often comes home with platiunum certificates (worked out on points you lose throughout the day) and today he mentioned what a briliant day he had today .he saw 2 lambs being born and how much he is looking forawrd to tomorrow where they have a street dancer comming into school and also they are going to make their own c.d. He is loving the expressive arts days ...things really can get better , pity we have to fight but it is worth it

Where I live we have an "inclusive" after school faciltity for children with and without speacial needs .......great stuff only my son has been permantley excluded from it .err no so not so "inclusive" really but perhaps there is something simliar in your area

Again must be down to area

Please feel free to correct me but if you have a diagnosis of Alzheimers you have it as it just the name Alois Alzheimer named after looking down a microscope at a bunch of cells in the brain. I know many people get a diagnosis of Dementia without it being a fact but for Alzheimers a c.t. scan is done , that is not to say they may have had different risk factors or even behave differently but you would not diagnose Alzheimers on a set of behaviours alone

Her name is Temple Grandin

Too be honest I would not get too het up by the swearing they are only words and when life is difficult enought to understand and communicate effectively in sometimes it seems the only way to get a point across. This I understand totally Becky "she has refused to dress or leave the house today so i havent even been able to walk the dogs. " well part from the fact I have no dogs but you are the adult and although initially it is easy to give in in the long term I don't think it is wise to allow her to be in charge ..........good luck

Although I understand the difficutlies that go alongside a diagnosis ......and although I have had a horrendous time getting my son the support he needs I actually do not mind the fact he has aspergers...we are all different and some of our different behaviours have names . Now I love my son so very much although at times I have really disliked him i would not want him to be anything other than he is .I may coem across as very simplistic and basic in my views but all children desire the basics such as right to education , peers, warmth , food and as long as that is provided does it really matter if they are autistic?

Have to agree my son understands sarcasm, jokes, literal meanings and has a diagnosis of Aspergers , as for ticking boxes there are 4 main ones re aspergers and I will clarify more when I am not attempting to write an essay for uni

I cant claim carers allownance as I work full time (well I cram 37 plus hours into a short weeks) my son gets lower rate mobilty and high rate care .thanks for your help .I had to send a form with all the days and nights he was home and at school ...glad I actually had a record of it but don't fear I owe loads back as he was off school for months with a broken leg last year

Excellent news ..My son too has jsyt been re awarded his D.L.A. until he is 16 unfortunately I did not tell them he spent 14 nights a month at boarding school so I owe some monies back ...I completely forgot to tell them

My point was not to disagree nor cause any upset but to make a point that "joe public " has many views on many different things as folk often have limited knowledge on many different subjects and if it is not familiar or close to them then the media perception is often taken on board .In my opinion people are not going to bother much about different views/diagnosis unless it affects them personally

The reason may people think those with AS are a genius is due to the media presprentation to those with savant autism which states one or more areas of expertise, ability or brilliance that are in contrast with the individual's overall limitations, when I mention the media I mean the boy who could memorise and draw buildings and rainman .To be honest Joe public's perception is not worth worrying about.

Awwwwwwwwwww good thinking

I sent you a p.m.

I don't like the term "suffers" I am not for one minute saying folk with Autism do not suffer , as does anyone but to suggest they all "suffer" is wrong in my opinion

I too am employed by the local authority on a term time only contract and have had to take huge amounts of time off to be with my son and they are absolutely brilliant. I am sorry to hear your employees are not so great .Have you looked her this may be useful Visit My Website
