  1. yes my 9 year old ha sdicovered s4c he loves it and also watches his films in japanese, he likes listening to different languages?
  2. thats really interesting because i find this aswell, i am on the spectrum a bit though.. its like nt children should all be on super nanny if you know what i mean
  3. it does take ages, with me they sent a letter to school, school filled it in and basically said my son was fine and able. it got refused on the grounds that my son doesnt need night time help and is not incontinant, i phoned them back because these actually were the reasons why i had applied for it, incontinance night time wakings for toilet sleep walking and the school had no idea about our night times, an appeal went onand this started feb i am still waiting to here the results,

    Dyspraxia

    if he is at school, ask to see the school doctor/nurse. where we are that gets the ball rolling but can take a very very long time.

    Dyspraxia

    I am 31 mother of 3 boys, i am dyspraxic. i cant feel my fingers properly and i am a nightmare in the kitchen. yesterday i was in a clothes shop, i was looking at dresses and suddunley for no reason the coat hanger and dress was tangled in my pony tail, and before i knew it the second coathanger and top had now also become entangled in my hair. those sorts of things happen so many times a day-once i ended up in A&E because i had been cooking and the kitchen knife got stuck in my head, i thought i was going to die. but it was ok..
  6. Oh thankyou, today i feel like moving far away then at least i would know that was a good enough reason not to have family help. it does make me feel better that its not just me <'>
  7. this is amzing, i have been in floods today, why are my family not helpful, they think they are but at the same time noone will actually ever help how i need help, they offer to baby sit but never will, in fact i find it desperatly upsetting at the moment how all the family dont get it, what the difficulties are and probably think i make it all up, then the only other peopl i see are the health professionals who tell me how autistic the kids are and how i should have support and respite and allsorts. and then there are no friends, today i feel i am stuck on this strange island completly isolated and all this life going on around me. and blah blah blah. sorry ive just had it today. i dont know where i go from here today. i feel very depressed. i only want a bit of a life in a place that i feel comfortable with just a couple of people around me who understand it all..

    secondary school

    I live in rural chester, and the local schools secondary that is are really no use to my as son. i have no idea where there is a good one. i need an art based one, i know they excist, and i am happy to move to chester /south manchester,warrington, or we are on the border of north shropshire cheshire and wrexham. does anyone know of any where between or around any of these ares. its driving me mad i dont know where to start looking or what i am looking for?
  10. so awful really sorry about your dad , thankyou all for those i feel much better now and will respond to her as i would an aspie and not bombard her with my stresses as she interprets them as her own pain and not mine, so i will have to burden you lot instead as there is no one else. lots of thanks x
  11. yes, 18 months ago, i was told that my childrens symptoms were abuse, extreme manipulation and so on, neglect etc. 18 months on cahms appointment finally came through and low and behold they do have real difficulties to, its awful you have to be so careful
  12. i have found it almost impossible to find true aspie diagnosis as an adult. I know i am and certain mum is and grandad, two of my three boys are and my partner and also 2 brothers out of 4. and a cousin. I was told at uni by the educational psych that i have a semantic pragmatic disorder, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and social phobia, but he wouldnt call it aspergers just under an umbrella. anyway, i have found that they are only happy to dignose it if you are a child. in my experience that is, i have also only recently realised that where theres one aspie, theres more there in a family
  13. I am just wondering if anyone has experienced this, i feel one of my parents is on the spectrum and i am finding there lack of empathy and understanding of my own feelings and problems really hard to deal with. if i have a very awful problem and go to talk to them about it as i need some comfort-emotional support etc,sometimes i might get a laugh off them, which always shocks me when this happens, or a yawn sometimes. or sometimes they will listen but drift off in the middle, i go home usually feeling worse. i dont have any local friends to see or talk to really and they are my only support. but sometimes i feel as though they should support me, when i say support i only mean a cup of tea and a 'dont worry'maybe thats to much to expect of my parents. I know really I should give up expecting a response off them if i know it isnt possible because of aspergers, but then i feel empty that i am never going to get that and that feels sad..

    is he?

    I will go to gp i think, he does shout me but when hes next to me he will go off as though he cant find me. thankyou everyone

    is he?

    My nearley 2 year old is displaying a few behaviours and i was wondering if it sounds like autism to you as he is quite similar to my 9 year old. only briefly ill explain, when he walks or runs he will never look ahead only at his shadow or something to the side of him self, he spends a lot of time only looking from the corners of his eyes. he only plays with the washing machine or watches the same film again and again and again etc. he copies everything you say everything, and when he walks everytime he walks he does this very animated walk like the eldest does. and his favourite foods are butter, wax crayons and oil of olay and soil. do you think he should see the health visitor.
  16. argos or woolworths web site i saw on one of them a repair kit
  17. that my question to, when do they have to leave. we were thinking of home educating them when they had both left juniors, there are no suitable schools for them, unless anyone knows of a senior school in chester that would be any good.
  18. good words, thankyou. he loves school, theres only 20 something in the whole school and his friends are a couple of years younger and in the same classroom. he would love to have an extra year there. i think it would be a great solution to things.
  19. I was wondering if children are allowed to repeat a year at school, or do an extra year. we feel our 9 year old would benefit from doing this, i have heard of kids going up a year because there clever, our sons aged 9.5 but in his report for statement they say mental age six, reading age 11.5, he is and always has been behind, thats why hes statemented. do you think he could do an extra year in juniors??? i know i should ask the school, but its saturday and i need to know..

    is this cruel?

    thankyou for those replies.i am just going to give my boys huge bottles to take in so they have enough for the day, thankyou
  21. last year i was single parent with three kids on income support, i had no income i had carers and the income support i got was 31 pounds a week, with the premium etc, so even though it sounds like you get extra 31 pounds isnt very much. my partner who had moved somewhere else was on 56 pounds a week income support. as a single person without kids
  22. I did like her though and it was more interesting than i thought it would be, i wish i had recorded it aswell.
  23. I dont know whether anyone feels the same as me, (i am on the spectrum I know) it may be this that makes me feel like this, but I always sit and watch these things and i want to see what is autistic about these people, even Temple seem completly normal to me??? and she is meant to be very autistic It makes me question where i am on the spectrum, am I more autistic than i think I am or to nt people, does she seem normal. the jackson family seemed even more normal than my family, i went to see a talk by luke and jackie and i thought i might see them differently to the documentry. is it me or is it just how it seems to everyone??
  24. we dont have an income so it doesnt affect our tax credits
