This is a tricky 1........can't really help, but sending you lots of these <'> <'> <'>

Glad he had a good time!

Hope its a good one! have plenty of

Strange person defo a bit Mind you i will be moving to a brand new house in 3 wks time and i think i will be the opposite.....mind you i think it might have something to do with the pc will be on the top floor and won't be running up 2 flights of stairs that often!!

That was soooo funny....poor kid

Weel done you I wouldn't know where to start!!

Hi, This only happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I have known my friend 28 years, our boys are a yr apart and are more like brothers than friends. They go to different schools so dont see each other as much as they used to. Well ds wasn't invited to his party as he didnt want him there, i was quite upset because i have taught my children that although you make new friends you don't forget the old ones. Therefore when it is birthday time i say right theres you and your sister and this little boy....therefore you can have 7 friends from school. When my friend got told i was upset she ignored me.....then to make matters worse, invited ds 10 mins b4 party was due to start coz some1 hadn't shown and she didn't want to waste the money already spent!! I didn't speak to her for a couple of weeks as i was so mad......we have kissed and made up now, and she was in tears as she hadn't realised how thoughtless she had been.

This certainly seems like a good book, especially for those dx as an adult. I am trying to find one that is wrote by a parent of a child with AS to understand/be able to deal with my own ds....any ideas/recommendations???

Thats so typical of my morning......i like my start with good ol' Jeremy

Good luck with the theory! So glad so many of you feel the same.......

Same here!!

Hi, If it helps i would have done exactly the same thing in your position. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. Don't feel guilty, our kids like to try us so much! Sending you lots of these <'> <'> <'> <'>

I can't agree with this more! Well done

IS anybody else the same..... I always think right i will have a quick look at the forum before doing housework, then before you know it 2 hrs have passed!!!! Well this is me, thought i would just take a peek for 10 mins and without realising it nearly 2 hrs has passed..... Yet another excuse to think of as to why the hoover is still out!! He doesn't realise this forum is my escape......to be able to talk to people who have something in common with your own life/problems is very reassuring. Anyway better sign of now before another hour goes by.....

Your welcome, I know this might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it certainly worked this end. Sometimes i think things get complacent and the same bargaining tool doesn't always work and you then have to rethink a different statedgy. My ds is typical of this, just when i think i can confidently handle his AS, he goes and changes and we have to think of new ways to turn it around again! Good luck.

Hi Luigi Thanks for the insight, it happened about 10 months ago. But as the outcome of that meeting put in2 a deep state of depression and slight agorophobia i wasn't strong enough to deal with it at the time. Any fight in me and gone. Now i have come out of the dark side and built myself back up, i have recently been reflecting on what did happen and was thinking they should never have got away with it in the 1st place. I have contacted my union and they have advised i start going through a grievance procedure and they would gladly represent me. Will keep you informed how i get on. Thank you once again, i always thought them no win no fee solicitors were only for accidents ect so i will give it a go. Thank you once again, tina <'>

That's fantasit news paula....you must be overjoyed. I have been wondering for a while now if this would be good for ds, you have spurred me on to give it a try...thank u!

Hi, I sympathise with you......we used to have this problem. Instead of sounding negative with the 'if you don't do it i will take such and such away' we turned it into a positive. We basically said to him if you get ready 1st time we ask then there is time for tv before school. He happily accepted this and now does it most mornings 1st time. Good luck with your quest <'>

What a nightmare you have had. Anyway the best of luck with the interview <'>

Hi Mel We have this problem too......the only way i can get him calm enough to do it is if i do his sister 1st and let him watch. I think his biggest problem is sensitivity......the slightest touch to his feet and he wriggles.

Hi A big welcome to the forum. <'>

Bless him, that's really sweet
