  1. your not alone there Nellie! had to write it down to work it out!
  2. answering both questions for the screening and the cure would be a definate no! how could I change or lose a child that although gives me heartache on a daily basis brings me such joy? to take away his aspie would be to take away his whole personality and all the little things that can make me cty both in frustration and happiness. and why should he change? the onus should be on the general public to realise that people on the Autistic spectrum have so much to give to society. I for one am proud of my son and who he is and wouldn't change anything about him. (I must go to work before I'm sacked, but will be back later!)
  3. 1stly sorry I've not been here for ages, new Job keeping me too busy Although Josh has been happier recently he's still running around the house at 1am & only getting about 4 hours sleep a night so obviously struggling to get up in time for his taxi to school (and what a battle getting that was, another story there!) A nurse friend of mine has suggested asking for him to be prescribed Melonin to help him sleep. Has anyone heard or even used this? as I've no idea about it, my friend works with kids with special needs but not autism. any advice on this would be really appreciated!
  4. I find having a cat that likes thier flower patch as a tiolet has a better effect on the NFH!!!! Wonder if they know I praise him?!?!? lol (couln't find an angel emoticon!)
  5. Chaotic kid Josh screams with delight at the explosion! Stun mum fights herself into her black catsuit, that should scare ban man and delete woman into offering the the code to the safe where the hob nobs are hidden with screams of "nooooooooooo put your normal clothes on PLEASE!"
  6. I've always plastered my walls with the rocky horror show! (perhaps thats too much info!) Kirstie, Josh has sensitivity to bubble bath, but I use pure essential oil in his bath, just 5 drops seems to work and it doesn't seem to affect him, he now refuses a bath without his lavender in! has any one tried sleepytime from the body shop? it's the best thing ever, just a spray for the pillow, but has helped Josh for the last year
  7. well the caped confuser advised me that as Stun mum I needed a nice outfit to visit, all I could find was this purple sequinned cape and a cat mask as the rest in the batcave have all the best outfits! But I do come bearing gifts of more hob nobs and a few bottles of the old red stuff. Whats my 1st assignment?!?! Jackie xx
  8. Hi there long time since I posted, but been busy with other things & I also was worried I was getting totally obsessed with AS! Today I am introducing My son Josh to the forum. I decided to tell him that he has AS. I was worried about telling him, but I'm so glad I have, he finally understands himself a little better, all he said to begin with was "I knew I was differant"!!!!!! any way have told him he can write here and say his own hello, so over to Josh!!!! hello Well that was Josh's cotribution! he just wanted to hit his head against a wall! well we'll have a look round the forum, maybe help him a little more! speak to you all soon Jackie x
  9. oh posted too soon was going to ask if anyone from the east midlands? I'm Derbyshire here
  10. don't know about other single parents, but I cope with Red wine and too many cigerattes! LOL I think the siblings get a harder time than parents at times, Porr Ellie tends to be his punch bag! have thought about getting him a real one for his bedroom, but a family member thought he would just hone his skills on it!
  11. thanks very much! I've just been reading through some of the previous postings and I'm even more pleased that simon sent me the link! since looking into AS we now believe my father has it as well! but he wasn't too happy when we told him this! LOL I've struggled to cope for the last 9 years how did you manage it till your son was 19?? some days I could kill him, the next minute I just want to hug him & hide him away to make life easier for him! he started secondary school last Sept & life has become a nightmare for him, he's a highly intelligent child (they're looking at him doing gcse's in sciences by the time he's 14) he has been trying to control his temper at the new school, so lets go when he gets home, so I feel so sorry for his little sister! he knows he's differant and says things like "I wish the other kids liked me, but they don't understand me" hopefully now though we can see the light at the end of the tunnel thanks Simon will get the book, in fact could do it now before the little darling comes home and starts being nosey! I was just reading what Simon said about the stresses our children put on relationships and I have to agree completely! the stress of Josh although not the whole reason, made life too stressful for myself and his dad & we divorced 4 years ago, now his dad see's him for a few hours a week and one overnight stay a month, then he has to have a week when he doesn't see the kids so he can "have a break"!!!!!!
  12. hi, my name is Jackie, firstly a thanks to simon for telling me about this site! I have 2 children Josh (11) and Ellie(9) I am now in the process of forcing the medical establishment to realise my son has a problem and is not just "a bad lad". Will try & keep it short! terrible 2's started early and at 11 I'm still waiting for them to be over! he has been statemented at school for the last 3 years for "unsocial behaviour" has seen the ed pshychologist, who just said he was a naughty boy & as I was a single mother it must be the way I'm raising him!!! <_< about 6 weeks ago a chance conversation introduced me to the world of AS. I went home and researched everything I could find, I sat for hours crying as all I could see was my son, 1/2 relief I finally knew what was wrong and 1/2 with dread at what life was going to be like as he will never grow out of it. since then I have spoken to the GP and the health visitor and both are amazed that Josh has not been tested for AS in the past (new GP and Health visitors!) now I am just waiting for the referal to come through that I know will take a while. but I can cope better already knowing he's not just an evil child and he can't help himself. I'm really pleased to have found a uk forum! nice to know others around are in the same boat as me, I don't feel so isolated sorry ended up rambling as usual!!! Jackie
