I concur. It's also got me into looking into the possibility of working at one of those camps this summer. I can't help wondering if that girl (Jessica?) ended up at my old AS-oriented school, which was also in Somerset.

Speaking from experience, I cannot even begin to explain how infuriating it is to not be trusted to have any independence.. Especially at that 11-14 age. It's when kids start to transcend from child to adult, and you really have to put some faith in them. I'm sure it's hard, moreso if you're a parent of an Autistic child, but everyone has to grow up sometime.

He's starting to isolate himself

I wouldn't have thought it's a bad thing. I often had to do the same when I was younger, and at the AS-school I attended a few years ago kids leaving for brief periods happened daily. Haven't had that issue for a while now, although at Collectormania (sci-fi convention) earlier in the year I had to go outside for half an hour because the volume of people really got to me. -
Because of the recent rise in public awareness of Autism it's risen to pop-culture status making a faux-pas like that more acceptable. Such is the way of the world, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Personally I've been expecting this to happen since TV documentaries about Autism started to appear a few years ago.. But there's no sense in getting caught up on the things you can't change.

I get that trouble where I work (shop assistant at a wine merchants), since I generally don't talk "cheerfuly" and I'm not the most responsive person in the world to customer small talk. Pretending to care about the weather is something I have great difficulty doing. Has your son ever been to college? It scared the hell out of me a couple of years ago when I started, but it changed my outlook and confidence immeasurably. I don't have problems talking to people I don't know any more, although getting nervous in certain social situations is still an issue on occasion.

The only problem I had with walking when I was that age was walking too much. I had ADHD at the time and had to be taken on at least a 4 mile walk every day.

Free accounts have a 2 and a half Gig monthly bandwidth limit, but unless you're expecting your pictures to be viewed around 1000 times a day it's not going to be a problem.

A great idea!! for those evil eyes at the shops

10 years? I started buying them in 1989 and still haven't stopped. Have to love OCD. When I was in Spain I did see a transforming Spiderman in a cheap Chinese giftshop; but it was a bootleg and called "Clamberman". Doesn't quite have the same ring to it. -
