  2. My DS3 has been told since jan he was'nt sitting any bar science on monday his teacher informed me he was going to get him to sit all BUT if they can't understand his writing as long as DS3 tells them what he's put the teacher will then write it on the paper what it really says , No dx for DS3 but re-applying for a statement and i think he will fail his SATS , its to much pressure for kids IMO and they really don't need it


  3. K has a very strong American accent which is there all the time , everyone asks if he's from USA , yesterday he came home talking polish , then today Italian he's very good with it i must admit but he's always had the american accent so thats normal with us , he also says mail truck and mail man i said yesterday K its post man LOL he's very good with it though


  4. We too have had support once we got DX his specialist referred us to disability team and a group called PIPS also gave us sheets on different groups to join he also get speech and language at school also a autism specialist goes into school once a week to work with K and his support ,the disability team one guy help us with his poor diet , smearing , pictorial timetable and anything else i request , also a lady helping us make passports for kurtis to carry around , PIPS take him bowling once a week with 1 on 1 support but i still attend too as K wants me there still , over all i'm pleased with the help with stuff that i would other wise not be able to do


  5. K had to see cafcass with his dad and she said she was expecting a english child took dad ages to get her to realise that he is english but as his american accent is so strong people are now not believing us , does a good job of repeating tv word for word


  6. My sons first TA at primary was a bit like that, she actually cured him of some of his autism :hypno: ...........silly moo :wallbash: .He was supposed to have support at dinner time, but she hosted a prayer meeting (it was a faith primary school) and meditated with other staff...........still makes my blood boil now :angry: ............thankfully the staff who look after him now are fab :thumbs:

     

     

    thanks , find some things blooming frustrating


  7. K got a new TA yesterday and while she's very nice i feel she's pushing me into a corner K has full support even at play and dinner , she asked me tonight to take him into the play ground in morning and leave him unattened (he's 7 by the way) i said no she said he can put his own coat on so should be able to be left for 5 minutes unattended but i said no way , so she said we will work on it , so why do i feel like ###### ? i want him to be indepandant but left alone , don't even leave K2 who's 11 on his own


  8. >:D<<'> Hi,

    O is very noisy - he sings and hums a lot - always accompanied by lots of jumping on the spot. He has labels for things that are important to him and, like Mandy's daughter, he knows some sentences that he copied while using pecs. He also uses echolalia so if you say to him 'do you want a drink O?' he will repeat back 'do you want a drink O?' He can learn songs very quickly but the words have limited meaning for him. He was completely non verbal until aged 3 and then the songs and echolalia started. If people ask me 'Can O speak?' I find it's quite difficult to explain to people. Yes he can form words but there's so much more to communication! We are yet to have a 'conversation!' But I live in hope. He is 6 now

    K is the same and is 7 , he did talk about 18 months and stopped at two and half , most of his speech now is copied from tv with a wicked american accent , if we say K don't do that he says K don't do that

     

    My nephew is 9 next week and is non-verbal and still in nappies and uses a feeding cup


  9. We had same problem last term we spoke to TA nothing happened so we went to headmaster and the book , visual timetable and work station were put into place , you can at anytime call a review but first speak to head if that does'nt work call a review , does he get 1 on 1 in breaks and dinner maybe would be a good time to ask for one

     

    good luck
