  6. both me and my son do the one sock on,one sock off,and i have no idea why
  7. everybody commented on flynns eyes.they too are very big and has eyelashes i would die for.he was a big baby,but very pixie looking.he was a very quiet baby.i cant remember him crying a lot.he hated being cuddled though which was a pain because he was breastfed.everybody seems to love flynn,with his angelic face and his personality.when he speaks,he sounds like hes telling you a story.i have also noticed that a lot of children with asd look alike.it seems to be their gentle features and big eyes.
  8. When are they coming to fix yours?

  12. i get the exact same problems at cinemas,shopping trips etc.ive found that planning in advance makes things a whole lot easier..just explain that if you are gonna do anything then it needs to be at a quieter time.
  13. that is so me!!!buses agggghhhhh! cant stand the noise.i am definatly too honest.these are a very good example of how adults with an asd go through their days.
  14. I remember just before my first CAF meeting i was sent a letter telling me who would be attending and i never realized how many people was involved with Flynn.There was his head teacher,teacher,TA,1-1,HV,paediatrician,ed psych,speech and language therapist,specialist hv,sure start,social worker and a council worker.I was under the impression that everyone there was going to be telling me i was doing bad,but it wasn't like that at all.Basically everyone had a chance to introduce them selfs(i didn't have a clue who most of them were ).It gave everyone the opportunity to let everyone else know how they thought Flynn was getting on,to discuss what help was needed and to give the relevant person the task.(if that makes sense)eg his teacher got the opportunity to let everyone know that Flynn was having more meltdowns at school.The ed psych got the job of getting him more hours on his statement,the health visitor got the task of sorting out his bedtime routine as his tiredness wasn't helping his meltdowns,the paediatrician got the task of prescribing melatonin,and a referral to the dietitian and the head got the task of sorting out his school meals(they thought his tiredness might be due to his limited diet).The meetings are basically to let everyone know what they should be doing.You will also get the opportunity to get assign a key worker.(basically in between meetings,if you need any questions answered and you are not sure which professional you should be asking,you would ask your key worker who would get in contact with the relevant professional).I had my hv as my key worker as i saw her more often.As for future meetings,you will probably get them every few months to make sure everything is going ok.
  15. i am absolutely terrified of water.when Flynn was 2 1/2 he fell into a ft deep paddling pool.he was unconscious when pulled out(ill spare you the details).he was fine a few days later and really wanted to go back in.hes been swimming since and was fine with it.i really need to overcome my fear of water though.
  16. have you tried here http://www.specialneedstoys.com/ its faily expensive but i think you can get similar things off ebay.ill have a look

    musical fun :)

    after kicking a drug problem and being homeless for months id just got my house.the day was really warm and i was heavily pregnant with flynn.i was stood by my newly cleaned window putting some flowers in a vase.i was eating soap and bath sponges(i was pregnant!!!).this song came on the radio,and i remember thinking how the last 8 months had been horrible,but now things are gonna change.everytime i hear this tune it reminds me of what id gone through and how great i was feeling at the time for getting my life back on track.

  20. i found a dr who border on ebay.just type in dr who wallpaper at ebay
  21. i cant cope with these kids for much longer.every days the same.its constant screaming from morgan in the morning,screaming in the afternoon and screaming at night.i hate it when the boys get home from school because shes even worse.constantly winding flynn up which causes meltdowns from him,then biting then more screaming.today my eldest whos only 6 took himself to his room because hed had enough of the screaming.i feel so sorry for him as he gets no attention.i joined him and let morgan and flynn fight it out between them.i know i probably shouldnt have done but i was at the end of my tether and felt like smacking them both.im sick of everyone saying "its nearly the weekend!!".well the weekends worse,all the kids are at home.i never get a break.even at night coz flynn wont sleep without me.flynns the one with the problems, yet i cant even cope with morgan whos only 2.morgan has been sent to bed as i just cant cope with her right now.everyday is just one battle.im woken in the morning to screaming and fall to sleep by it too.the days seem to merge into one at the moment.i feel soo stressed that i havent even cooked this week.it has been takeaway after takeaway. .i just cant cope anymore
  22. just wondered if anybody has heard of this http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/DisabledPeople...ort/DG_10026664
  23. Morgan turned 2 in september.She was a very slow developer in sitting,crawling,walkin etc.She is very hyperactive and violent.She seems happiest when beating up her 4 yr old brother.She whines to allday and can function on 4 hours sleep a night.She has no recognisable speech either.I know she hasnt got an asd as she doesnt show any of the traits.She is such a handfull and im struggling to cope with her.I dont know whether all 2 year old are like this because Flynn was really quiet,and Ryan was a really good kid.I dont know weather Im doing something wrong,its normal,or theres an underlying problem.I feel like pullin out my hair!!
