Bluesbreaker

thats why i hate the books and hate some of the TV programmes about Autistic and Aspergers people because they give us a bad name because people just see the negatives and not the positives of having a disability

there's a common denominator which is Gordon Brown, he's been the exchequer for a while (since 97???) and he screwed up the bloomin economy in most forms. then Blair decided to butt up to Bush and say, lets be friends and play war games in the playground.... i blame Labour AND the Bankers

of which i have. edit: i am being careful, im also being kind, because i think there should be more neutrality, AS, ASD or NT, we need to be open minded and neutral particularly in positions of control. this is a suggestion and just my opinion and does not need to be taken heavily, but i just want to clarify my thoughts. xx

I'm just interested in what type your into Im a music lover, but metal, Rock and blues are my passions. Im mad on Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Slipknot, Greenday, John Lee Hooker, the Pistols, the clash all that stuff. What do you guys like? whats your favourite song? or album? and do you play an instrument? i do i play guitar left handed,

it'll flow naturally, you have to think outside the 'box' as such, which i appreicate can be difficultm but because of my upbringing around adults, its quite easy, also leave gaps and cues for them to ask questions i

hmmm, well what i do when i meet someone is start the small talk, hi who are you??? oh you know so and so??? how did you meet them??? what do you do for a living???? oh i see, so what do you for hobbies???? etc. its a pretty good method but it does take a lot of confidence to do it and sometimes a lot of courage so take it in little steps if need be, i find it works everytime

Hmmmm, looks like we're swinging to one side here aren't we?

i must be one of the few AS's that like phone calls????

im my mind probably means tested, probably an assessment of how an ASD/Aspergers person reacts socially, their mobility needs, life skills, that kind of thing. i have in my mind an interview, then a 'physical test' in a suitable area, life skills maybe assessed by interviewing main care worker or Parent/Guardian.

Oh right, good phrasing i call them 'ordinary' but NT is better... thing is i dont call anyone 'normal' because what is normal? people vary from each other so much that their actually isn't a normal if you get me....

oh codswallop..... Forgive me i buggered up the clearer explanaition. When i said out of retaliation i meant 'i hit back in self defence' D'oh...... But yes i do see what you mean (P.S. what the heck is NT???)

I'll answer the phone, its no big deal for me, i have a mobile phone on contract and i much prefer to talk to someone over the phone than text or email, as i can pick up emotions in whats being said, which i can't do when i read a screen of text.

thats Y's and X's thingy comes to mind with the girls, i remeber being told by someone in the profession and reading somewhere that its something partly to do with the Y's and X's?????

ouch.... well lets say afyer my experiances, id say quite badly.

i would and wouldn't recommend this. Its great cos the kids are growing up and they understand and will keep that in mind be friendly with the kid involved and watch out and watch his back for him then there are those who are 'clever' enough to figure out that this can work to their advantage which causes more bullying, in mind you are talking to an aspergers guy who has had that experiance, its not pleasent. i ssuggest doing this when the kids are 15/16 years old about yr11 cos they will then be mature enough to know that its not a thing to get away with doing.

As per usual, yet these community schools have gone ahead, i wonder how SEN will be affected?

i know what you mean, i hate people looking at me, and its normally blokes as well not women or girls my age (most unfortunate... lol) and i hate it, i dont understand why either, is it because of the way i walk? my facial expressions? the purple flares (very rarely wear those)? or is it just inquisitive people?? When i am riding my push bike however, i tend to look around at cars, people, everything because i need awareness, i also wear a bandana (breathing issues, stops cool air harming my lungs) and this makes it great when i stare motorists out with evils if the cut me up or something... anyway, i think its just inquisitive people my friend, nothing serious and they dont mean any harm or anything, but i totally understand why you question it

right i'll do it a lot cleare this time: I split up with this girl on a tuesday evening, i told her we could no longer continue as the relationship was inhibiting my studies and that she would not meet me with a mutual agreement, no matter what agreement that was. we left each other, nothing else heard that night enter wednesday morning, i did my usual bike locking routine in the bike shed Directly outside the form room, after twenty minutes of casual banter which i took part with every morning in the open area of 16+ i walked into my tutor room and through the windows i saw her taking off the dustcaps and letting air out of my tyres and considering how angered she could become at times i thought i aint sitting there watching that happen just in case. so i stormed out, but i calmed myself down to talk to her and my tone was clear and calm but sincere and i said please don't do that its not going to help any matters lets stop this and talk or part ways, please dont end on a bad note. She gets up, and there was some silence as she turned to me, stared me angrily in the face for 5 seconds and she punched me in the jaw. i then hit back out of retaliation. nearly all of my tutor group saw what happened and gave statements to my head of year who said that yes i was wrong but she was also wrong for provoking me to retaliate, whether out of Self defence or not Hope that is clearer

if you can just rephrase the last sentance tally just to be clear cos i dont know if i understand the sentance.

Again, SEN shall suffer while people who are taking the country for a joke and are claiming benefits uneccesarily draining money away from more important things! as per ususal...... scrap half the welfare state, job done. anyway, it would be nice for the new government to implement more provision for SEN students more specifically Autism and Autistic spectrum related disorders as at the moment we as an ASD/Autistic community rely heavily on voluntary organisations and charities such as the NAS for help and support, therefore if the State upped its game a bit more this would take some of the strain out of the NAS and others

let me put it like this, if someone walks up to me and punches me in the face i'll knock the *****r one back, i dont tolerate people hitting me no matter what the circumstances, cos its invading MY personal space. I hate that girl cos she hit me, my hit back was not serious, im 6'4 and if i was serious that girl of 5'5 would not be standing, my hit was in Self Defence. i regret doing it and shes so tapped in the head she thinks she did nothing wrong, sorry but she had no right to hit me and same goes for me, but still i took my actions in self defence not Offence like her.

for the record i wasn't accusing anyone of being lazy ...... anyway this is a problem i used to have when i was at primary school, because i always thought the teachers would ignore me and didn't have time for me, so my then LSA told me to just put my hand up and ask, and that the teachers did have time for me and wanted to help me a lot. the only Hurdle this caused was me over asking or over frequently putting my hand up to answer questions and ask for advice, so in terms of answering questions, my LSA gave me three green discs and when i answered one question then i had a card taken off me, etc. in terms of the short memory too, what also helped was the re cap of the last lesson/homeworks we had/ what methods we used to complete work. this meant that each time we wlaked into a classroom we got our heads refreshed with this information, which ultimately kept me more focused and a lot calmer and happier.

tbh i dont expect people to hit me in the first place.

Having gone through a similar issue with my parents by my side, i agree with Kathryn, i think the LEA are pushing their luck a bit too far, its time you quoted article .123 and tell them they have the obligation to do what it says as per the legalities before they make a decision.

Being Aspergers myself, its moreso a case of selective hearing, i can't be bothered to listen half the time i listen when i want too.... which can be a pain for me cos i miss the important stuff
