  2. HI I AM DYSLEXIC AND THE SCOTOPIC SENSITIVITY IS CALLED ERLENS SYNDROME or irlans
  3. I have just phoned social services for an assesment. i have never had one before and i dont know what they are for and i dont know how they can help. does anyone know what ways they can help us? really worried about it
  4. I was told by my ed psych that in order to be occupational therapist you first train as a psycholgist as wth a educational one aswell
  5. Can anyone help, my partner is on the autistic spectrum, we went to the doctors today as he has terrible suicidle tendencies along with other things. she spoke of bi polar which i was expecting and then she said it could be something else and i should look it up on the net i can only sort of remember the first half of the name does any one know its driving me mad she said something like psycholi--something if you can think of something similar please let me know Thankyou
  6. my partner is 37 and he stims i didnt realise there was a word for it, he doesnt use a pillow he crouches and puts his mouth on the floor and does this loud and crazy thing for a few minutes. we just carry on while he does it, he hasnt got tourettes its a build up of stress and like fizzing and then he is calm afterwards
  7. I said to my 9 year old,have you heard of aspergers syndrome,he said no, I said Some peoples brains work slightly differently, (then i used his positive things first ) like some people are very creative and good at art and reading, but may find some things at school quite hard and need extra help. also they might not like having friends and find noises and lots of people really hard to cope with. He said yes that sounds just like me, i said yes it does doesnt it,he said do i have aspergers syndrome and i said yes. then i explained that his brother doesnt etc and thats why he likes to play with other children etc, and we chatted and that was it
  8. I read 70 percent likely, 9 year old is, 8 year old being assesed, 2 year old looks like it..
  9. my 8 year old doesnt wet the bed but wets his trousers throughout the day, not fully emptying his bladder just enough to make a wet patch umpteen times a day. he doesnt have aspergers like his brother but there is something most definatley not right with his understanding of language, i spend all night following him around while he sleep walks and he has a couple of wees a night. his weeing has been investigated and the doctor at the hospital says it is normal for children to wet the bed up to the age of 9, so he must have night time nappies. you should see doctor with him though to make sure its not a physical problem.

    Our weird life

    i am 31, and i think we are the flumps(i have the video)
  11. I have emailed them, she needs to spend a week with a family to see what its about, I cant figure how they can publish an article on a womans made up opinions.is she a doctor?
  12. my boy now 9 never ever had a hearing test until he was five because i asked for one, it was really hard to do as he wouldnt understand that he had to respond to the sounds. it turned out anyway he had very bad hearing, they gave him grommits and he ran around telling everyone to be quiet.
  13. I feel I have put the wrong thing now, but in the 90s my husband was famous, and there were masses of chat rooms on the web about him, and my kids, the fame started before we had the kids so perhaps thats why i dont see the internet as intrusive, its just something that we all put up with , people knowing all our business. And might i add not being allowed to speak ourselves on these sites and putting up with alsorts, see i better stop now, yep maybe it did get up my nose

    Child's View

    our nine year old is having to do this to so i explained to him that he will have to tell his teacher exactly what he finds really hard, he replied by saying that he finds language very difficult, like chinese or japanese, (they dont do these at school) but he said he just doesnt understand words that foriegnpeople say, and so that is what he will put on his review.. i think this shows exactly where his differences are.
  15. I dont think I would mind, I have come to realise that kids lives these days is based around a place called myspace.com and they all post pictures and chat and have diaries. now I couldnt get my head round this but all my brothers who are between 15 and 21 do this and are costantly post photos, i dont know how to use it but I have come around to this and realise that times are very different to when I was at school, I am only 30 but this is what the youths of today do. you will have to have a look, they date on it and everything?
  16. my son has a stammer and we call it his sparkle
  17. Hi, we have had no support, I had to find out everything myself. five years later I am still wondering what social services do etc. so you have done well
  18. I could talk all night about this, my first was very difficlt to cope with as a baby, my second much easier and made my first one easier, theres a big gap between those two and the third there is 8 years, but its great, he loves them they love him, its easy with three and i am wondering if four is even easier? i know night times are hard with babies but all my boys have sleep problems and i am up anyway. i do believe that more kids is easier than one , mind you that new born baby bit does plonk me on another planet for a couple of months
  19. I just read the last post and the same happened for me, I was content with the first two, i had just lost a baby and decided that i wanted just to focus on the two boys, i was in the middle of a degree and felt everything was fine. but out of the blue 6 months later i was having boy no 3 and not because of the pregnancy but other things we had the most horendous 2 years but not for one moment has the third felt like aa mistake, he has been the most fantastic thing to have happened actually. he has grounded me and i am there one hundred percent for these kids
  20. I have 3,9 8 and nearly 2. eldest high func autism, middle selective mutism, dyspraxic, 3rd is now seeming to be the very same as the eldest. I am feeling sad that no 3 is getting bigger and i feel time is running out if i wanted one more, i am very broody and i think my kids are amazing, there differences are complex but so am i and from the looks of programes like super nanny nt children seem more difficult. I think that if you yearn for another child you should have one, babies are all hard work at the start,
  21. we seem to stay in all the time now, when the boys were about 4 and 5 it was alright to do things with them, now they are so routine bound at home they become very difficult if we do anything else.
  22. that was our problem he didnt like the patches
  23. Hello, dont worry, the hardest thing will probably trying to stop her taking some plastic patches off herself as they will give her special cream to numb her where the needle will go, then they put see through patches on the cream and it is left on for half an hour or something, so they dont feel the needle. and i think they may end up wanting a sopping nappy. dont worry it will all be fine.x

    Home Educating

    HI, my son is in a tiny school 23 in whole school, he has explained to me that he doesnt want to go to senior school over 1000 kids at our local one, he says he would like to do animation (his special interest) at college. I have decided that that is a good idea and I am happy to teach him at home, and I have access to animation facilities at my uni that i go to, I dont think secondary school is right for him and therefore I wont send him.. <'>
