    Speak to your GP and ask for a referral to see a child paediatrician tell the doctor the problems he was having in the other school and don't let the doctor put you off. It can take months to get an appointment, but its better to have a foot in the door in case you need it. (To have his name down in case things go wrong again, then you will be well on your way to getting professional help.) You do not need your son with you when you go to see the GP also good idea to write things down and bring them with you. When I went with my list of problems the doctor told me that the child was having a personality clash in the school. (Pre-school) We moved to another pre-school things seemed to be fine until he started big school then the problems reappeared. The doctor had absolutely no idea about aspergers, but he is the one that can transfer your son on to the right professionals. You have nothing to lose!

    I didn't mean the email to come across as me blaming people, don't want my AS excused. All I intended to do was give people the information they needed to understand me. It was supposed to make things easier; to make me feel more relaxed around the people I come into regular contact with. It's done the opposite; no one will talk to me, I feel like I'm being observed from afar and that I've lost the one thing I love and the one place I've always been truely happy.

     

    Mumble send him another e-mail quoting exactly what you have quoted here. Just copy, sign, send and wait on his response.

     

    Hoping things improve. >:D<<'> >:D<<'> >:D<<'>

    This will be such an exciting day for them both. :D

     

    Might be a bit mad but they will be great. Stay calm! For they definitely won't. :whistle:

     

     

    Remembering my sons first visits, they have changed so much, still the same friend just a lot quieter and they go to each others homes every week. My turn this weekend.

     

    Enjoy the afternoon. :thumbs:

    Before going to the party, plan something special for M and you to do, so that he has a lovely time because he will mind when the time comes even though he will not say. I personally wouldn't have left him out. But its not fair on his twin brother not to let him go. God this is so difficult for you to watch! >:D<<'> >:D<<'> >:D<<'>

    The manner in which the doctor responded to your answers needs to be highlighted to the chief executive of the DLA and a complaint in writing will ensure that this doctor becomes aware that he has no right to behave in this manner to anyone. Also ask what expertise and experience he holds on Autism. The fact that he was foreign and that you found his questions hard to interpret does not matter he had 2 other professionals on the board that should have been able to help you understand what he was saying.

    Many years ago i went with a lady to a tribunal, she had serious mental problems and clearly was not able to attend unaided. The behavior of the doctor was totally disgusting he humiliated, confused and was abrupt through out. This lady was shaking in her seat and it was obvious that she did not understand what he was talking about when i intervened to assist he told me i was only their to escort not to answer his questions. I did what he told me and when it was over I escorted her out, she was so distressed i had to call her own doctor to come and help settle her, which he did through medication. What I had witnessed was beyond my belief. I felt so strongly about the mistreatment that I wrote to the DLA and explained how she was treated and let them know I would have no problem seeking a solicitors advice on the conduct of this doctor. They replied and where extremely sorry that this had occurred and stated this was not the first complaint and a certain doctor was now aware that his services where no longer needed by them. Obviously the others on the board, during this tribunal had agreed with my complaint. She received high care and middle mobility and my belief is that had i not written she would not have received this.

    Like Smiley says try to phone him, hopefully by the time he gets to Portsmouth he will be glad to hear a familiar voice. I feel if he didn't want your support he wouldn't have phoned it sounds like a cry for help!

    Has he done this before? If so did he return himself.

    If not try to meet up with him.

     

    This is terrible for you, hope he's home soon. >:D<<'> >:D<<'>

    I wonder if he has children himself.

    I would be curious to know could he still pass autism on through his genes to his children. (Saying as he is cured)

     

    Personally think his parents have done a wonderful job and have improved his quality of life.

     

    There is no cure. It is wrong to portray it as a cure.

     

    I'm very angry that I was subjected to listen to that. :wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:

     

    A thought, 'I would be very angry if my son was to say 'he is cured' when he is older just because he is good at talking. I would put him straight.'

    My son thinks his Aspergers is the reason he's so special and has said that he wouldn't like to be NT because he would lose his special strengths.

     

    Thanks Mumble for posting the links.

    Paula, it's very hard and really there is no support for parents and sibling. We bottle it all up until the bottle explodes. People don't want to know and we continue to smile on the outside, we can cope with everything life throws our way. Well sometimes we just can't.

    :robot: Pick yourself up, dust yourself down and get on with things. Maybe some-one has a better answer.

     

    Sending you some >:D<<'> >:D<<'> hope you have a better week.
