  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

  11. I was known as Cornelius William McGee. No, I don't know why either..
  12. I don't have any kids to be diagnosed, but I wasn't until I was 13, 5 years ago.
  13. Amazing. I want a shirt like that. And no, you can never be too old for Transformers.
