  2. They need to know they are adding more anxiety when they are changing a lot of the time. They need to him plenty of warnings of the change to help him adapt springing on last minute won't help his anxiety
  3. I have an Apple iPad. It depends what u want to use with them I find apple beneficial with my autism and stuff. One think apple doesn't have is virus protection that's because it doesn't need it as it's safe unless jail broken
  4. He shouldnt be interviewed without appropriate adult and they should of been informed about his autism
  5. Mmr doesn't cause autism and mum said my symptoms developed before then any way
  6. I'm so sorry I wish they would just listen to u and sort it out instead of calling the police because u told them and they did nothing it's not your fault
  7. Do u have a social worker. Have u had a fairer to care assessment so they can put u in touch with the right team
  8. There so hard to get fitted sheets on top of mattress let alone the memory foam mattress too. U have to measure and then go to a store and ask for a fitted sheet that would fit the depth
  9. A chatterbox. My friends mum daughter who is only 10 I think is a chatterbox and she has aspergers. But that could be u talking about something that interests u can't stop talking about it, that's another sign of autism
  10. Did the gp diagnose u because you should of on gone an assessment with a specialist with series of questions even asks about childhood and asks your parents to be present too
  11. I am suggesting the method that worked with me. Flash cards on a keyring attached to bang with picture and word saying what needs to go into the bag for when he looks and someone to prompting him at school to look at them before going home.
  12. Why don't u make like a keyring with flash cards attached to his bag saying what he needs to remember to take home with pictures.
  13. Yes if u need support to care for yourself etc do this calculator it will say if u have enough points to qualify http://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pip/pip-points-system
  14. This sounds similar to me but not the school way but the college way. His depression seem to be getting in the way of his attendance. This is the area I was having. I was on mainstream course trying to get my English and maths up to qualification levels but my mental health was bad and I ended up going 2 weekly until nothing. Does he have a college counsellor or a mental health facilitator to keep an eye on him and help him continue his studies with mental health. Mine stopped as soon as I stopped going every week
  15. Pros helps me to communicate with people and then helps me to speak in groups when got to know people Cons bullying
  16. Hi Ashley welcome. I am an autie (autism) and I am 23 was diagnosed aged 14
  17. I'm so pleased for you. I wonder if the care home worked with him to help him cope with unexpected routines or they knew and so helped glen cope with the change.
  18. It sounds as though your child is a kinaesthetic learner (hands on, practical ) learner. I am both visual and kinaesthetic so i would find the paperwork of writing difficult because i work best at visual thinking as well as hands on methods. . I think if the IPAD is used in a positive way - Learning then it should be considered as long as they are not using it to play games that are no educational whilst at school.
  19. Thats discrimination. I would take apon the DDA with the employment
  20. It turns out she is into men and not into girls that way. But she moving back to her own country which i feel sad about
  21. I would just encourage him, but give him the option of what he wants to do. If he doesnt want to do anything not to force him, but if he wants to do then theres no pressure?
  22. I think feedback is vital so say it to them if u feel whats right
