  1. Perhaps you are being a bit sensitive to her well intentioned suggestions????????
  2. It difficult when you so desperately want to fit in. I would talk to the children and then to the mothers. Hope that works for you
  3. I dont think your husband hangs on the word "mild" , it is probably just taking him time to accept the situation. and will get there in the end!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. My son Keegan is also rather funny its not really jokes that he says its just his funny Keeganism's as we call them for example. He fell and bumped his head once he had recovered from the fall he said to us "Pitty I bumped my head I have not lost vital information." (it must have been from a dvd he had watched) but at the time he had us in fits of laughter. Its good to laugh I think its the best medicine in the world.. Bonnie (justadads wife)
  5. oh u poor thing, If its not one thing its the other, it never rains but it pours. How long will it take to get a statement in place, that could take ages if i am correct. I hope it works out for you and are you in favour of home schooling? Bonnie
  6. no problems let us know how things go with the school bonnie
  7. Hi there mother in need, Care Plans should be for all ages. Your son being diabetic should have a care plan especially if he has AS and other medical issues. Does he go to a main stream school because sometimes things are a little different? They usually have a nurse at either a speical needs school or a main stream secondary School and if he is unable to administer his medication they will have to do it for him - or the school may suggest someone looking over him. Does your son remember to take his medication... They could help with that too... (because my son has to take a tablet at 12.00 every day and if he did not have a reminder he would forget - he has inflammatory bowel disease) You will have to ask for a care plan to be drawn up because diabetes is not something to be taken lightly... Hopefully your sons school will be accommodating. We have a young lad at our special needs school who takes insulin injections and we watch over him while he is doing it, checking to see if the units are correct - I think the school may suggest someone looking over him. Would you accept that or do you prefer to have somebody actually inject him??? Bonnie
  8. Hi there, I work in a speical needs school and with alot of the students we have care plans. It is usually a detailed discription of the childs condition (diaginosis) what medication they taking , dr's numbers for emergencies. All medical infor - fits - etc. They are kept in a file so in an emeregency they are accecible very quickly. Hope this helps and sheds some light. Bonnie - justadad wife
  9. Hi Hev, So sorry to hear that you are having a tough time of late. Hang in there!!! Please excuse my ignorance what agency is Camhs???? (sorry am new to this) justadad
  10. Hi there Totally understand what you are going through. I have just had my family here for a week from South Africa, they have not seen my As son in 2years and how things have changed in those 2 years. My father inlaw does not really understand autism and when my AS son (11) had almighty meltdown infront of them he just thought that he was a naughty child, he did not understand that his routine had been interrupted and he just could not cope with all the change and noise in the house. Its a shame, the comments are what makes me cross, best for them to keep quiet. Like thumper says in bambi "If you have nothing good to say don't say nothing at all" Best of luck
  11. Hi as I am new to the forum I was wondering how everyone copes with trying to keep things fair in their households. By fair I mean one rule should in a ideal world be followed for all sibiling but it just does not work that way. For ex: my AS son is obessed with the series Charmed and he watches his DVD every night into the early hours of the morning. My younger NT daughter 11 complains that it is not fair that she has to switch off her telly at 9.00. It is so hard to explain to her that firstly he does not need alot of sleep and even though he is awake until 3/4am he still gets up for school at 7.00 no problems. We have explained things to her but she is only young and just can't understand the whole situation. I really hate bed times because to turns into a row and it ends up with eveyone all upset. Hopefully others have some suggestions and maybe you are in the same position with trying to please everyone. Justadad
  12. Annie I am totally gripped by your dilema dont give up you have done a great job so far.
  13. I so know how you feel, my son K is also 11 and when he goes out to play with his mates, I also ask him to take his phone but it's never charged or he is in such a rush he leaves without it. He too wants to catch the school bus but we have not gone down that road just yet. We also try to let him be as normal as possible by doing the things kids of his age do but we have such a huge phone bill from us (my wife and me) constantly ringing him to see if he is alright. Once my wife rang him to see where he was ( because it was getting late and he had not checked in with us) he answered the phone saying "Mom stop ringing me, I am upstairs" he had come home and not told us and gone to his bedroom without mentioning that he was home...
  14. Hi as I am new to the forum I am wondering if the topic of a link between autism and inflammatory bowel disease has come up before. My son K has aspergers and also suffers from inflammatory bowel disease. How many other members have experienced the same with regards to bowel problems.
