good luck chic i hope she gets somewhere! keep fighting the ba ba ba you know whats......

oh no that sounds very worrying, hope it turns out to be something easily sorted out <'>

i agree with the others chic! dont feel bad, it sounds like a good plan to me you have a lot on your plate and its nothing shameful to say you need help! <'>

is it just me, but since when did schools become qualified to diagnose children?????????? or able to decide if a parent is causing a child mental harm like your school is inferring???????

not too bad here, as dr who is on the sky +, her new friend at school is very much on the scene, and she doesnt have to go to school to see her! big hugs to all of you who are having a nightmare.....i dont know how long this will last lol! <'>

well i hope it pushes them to get their act together with assessing J.......el's very clumsy and the psych said she has dyspraxia but adhd and autism can make them very clumsy and unco-ordinated anyway...... <'>

omg thats horrendous!!!! ooooo sending you a big <'> i am not autistic but didnt feel like the pain relief during labour was effective......had gas and air, which made me feel sick, then pethidine which was rubbish.....should have had an epidural but was terrified of needles so didnt......

el's fave is red......liverpool footie club red...... mine's black.....

bh thats scary!!! i didnt know about sense of smell when you're asleep......

i'm so jealous that you saw bob live!!!!!! that must have been fantastic!!! i love music but am not musical in any way.....but i dont care if van the man is on i'll join in!

aw chic hang on in there.... <'> <'> <'>

awww fantastic!!!! big well done kyle!!!! <'> <'>

aww thats fantastic!!! well done ellis!!!! <'> <'>

awwww thats fantastic!!!! no wonder you are so proud of him big big big well done to him!!! hope he has lots of fun with his white board over the hols, it just shows you what our children can acieve when they get the right support! well done to his lsa too!

oh yes defo they should be dx!!!!! just because they are "easy to manage" in some situations, doesnt mean that they arent having big problems coping, they just arent being obvious about it which can be worse in the long run......keep fighting chic!

i hope you are feeling better, i like the idea of going and tripping them little so and so's up.....i'd be up for that..... and also want to say that i agree about the world being a better place with more aspies......for all the reasons already mentioned!!!! dont let the b's get you down........come on here and have a right good rant instead! <'> <'> <'>

bish bash bosh............sorry go girl!!! hope it gets you somewhere!!!

el hates being looked at to...wether they are looking or not looking, point is if its upsetting her then they need to sort it out!!!!

oo pearl i really think you should go to your gp and get theat aching in your arms checked out..... i really hope that j does ok with his interview, and test that they are springing on him....sending loads of positive vibes!!! <'>

<'> <'> <'> hope you are feeling better chic! and hope you get some support soon. good news about the housing tho!

the cdc told us that el was possibly asperger's when she was four, ("possibly" due to not wanting to label her.....) and i think this was cos she was showing some very obvious signs by this point and had been for years actually......they couldnt fob me off anymore but we got lucky with a hv who took one look at el and said "OMG!!!!" saying that tho el was also being very agressive and controlling, she also has adhd which they only dx a few years ago..... i have heard that with girls, if they are calm and quiet then its very common for them to remain un dx......and like bid said, girls are more likely to observe and copy....el has become quite skilled at this and it can be a big problem.

el went to the child development centre at the hospital and was seen by a variety of people....then they arranged for her to have salt through the school.....hth!

aw big well done to your daughter!!!

i can imagine your panic!

i would agree with bid....... <'>
