  1. melatonin works on tom but not on me, perhaps its the dosage. valerian works for me at the moment dont know if kids can take it though, you can get it from most helath food shops readily. either that or kalms night time herbal.

    good luck


  2. >:D<<'> had to go for one yesterday, bloomin painful too well the anesthetic was anyhow lol. Apparently the doc thinks i have autoimmune hepititus?sp, so have to take steriods great!.

    reading info sheet and under after effects is listed - moon face and acne - well how great!.

     

    shall i buy a paper bag now or later?. >:D<<'>


  3. tom loves football it is his passion, specially man united, but he doesnt mind the feel of the shirts, its the bloomin scrtachy labels they use as soon as his shirt comes out of the bag, he gets the scissors and cuts the labels off lol.


  4. awww i hope he will continue to ask questions. we felt our son needed to know about his AS he was beginning to notice the difference between him and his peers the older he got, the more he stood out in a crowd.

     

    he was sad but fine about it, i found freaks geeks and aspergers syndrome by luke jackson helped him a great deal. he is 13 and still dips into this book, luke has as and has written clearly and often movingly about his life with as and given some great tips on how to 'cope' with the condition as you get older.

     

    >:D<<'>


  5. hi there my son tom is 13 today, hip hip hooray!. hes not happy cos of the 6.6.6. thing hes had some ribbing about it at school. why the heck cant they just let him enjoy his birhtday.

     

    anyhow , spots and shaving to look forward to, yayyy!!!!! >:D<<'>

    happy birthday tom!


  6. My son is 20 and has never been asleep before midnight even as a toddler.

    My friend whose son is 19 and AS finds it hard to stay awake beyond 8 and is awake every morning between 4 and 5 and has been the same for years

    Over the years we have tried all sorts of things to change their sleeping patterns and now its just part of our lives.

    my son is 13 now and he never sleeps before midnight mostly its 1 or 2 in the morning before he goes, then i cant go wondering what hes doing.


  7. oh wow, everything has come at once eh?. lifes a ###### like that isnt it, and yr hubby and kids attitude isnt helping either, perhaps yr daughters could get some shopping for you while your dh is away. if theyre old enough to have b/fs then theyre old enough to do some shopping.

     

    i hope y health probs get sorted too, lots of love and >:D<<'>


  8. toms room is a complete tip!. me and his sister go in about once a fortnight and completly tidy hoover etc, any more than that and he would have a meltdown. in two days its back wher eit was before with things all over the floor, he says he knows where everything is! glad he does.

     

    he also leaves plates and cups up there for ages, dirty beggar! lol


  9. I've never watched BB before, just not my thing. But I did watch it last night to see Pete. He really impressed me, the way he is coping. He is proving to be an excellent ambassador I reckon.

     

    Just one question tho, who is that bizarre little man in yellow with the funny voice? The one that thinks putting all the food in the bin is funny? Have I missed something here? :huh: Like I say, it is the first time I've ever watched it.

     

     

    that is shebaz, who has now left!. he asked to leave but he shouldnt have been there in the first place, he was very fragile mentally and needed 4 hrs counselling when he came out. poor soul.

    yep pete is doing great so far but it is only the first week! lol


  10. yep i saw it too, he looked like he lost it this morning though he was with shabaz and couldnt control himself at all, was whisting meowing throwing his arms about grimacing the lot, eventually he calmed down but it upset me to see him so obviously stressed.

     

    my son goes straight to his room and noises emerge for about 15 mins or so, ive never gone in there cos i think its private, hes 12 now and needs his privacy i think, but im sure hes releasing all the pent up squeaks, flaps etc from school which he normally uses freely at home.

     

    hope pete always has that outlet in the house cos hes going to be in there a long time!
