We were recommended a cushion for M, by his psysio but we got something very similar from Ikea, its a in their childrens dept, its made of a hardish foam with knobbly bits, and it works great and was only �3, his senco at school has recommended it to other parents after seeing M's. hope you find what your looking for xxxx

have spoken to m's teacher as this happened in school, he lied about being bullied by 5 boys, of course I went in and spoke to his teacher,who in turn asked questions only to find out it was a lie. This lie had obviously played on his consiense as he felt sick last night and couldn't sleep, His teacher said that the class had had a funny week, with supply teacher and a student teacherand a few noisy lessons, plus the whole class are going on a residential trip M isn't going (his choice), and maybe he wasn't coping with all the change, so she thinks it was a cry for help, as in if he was being bullied Mum wouldn't send him to school... Don't know if this is right or not what do you all think, was it that he couldn't find the words to tell us he wasn't handling school.... really don' tknow xxx

M has been caught out in a lie, not a little lie but a whopper, he has ADHD and HFA, i know children with ADHD lie, but do children with autism, he is rigid in rules eg. pc games, dvd's he will only watch or play games that are in his age bracket, I believed that autistic children didn't lie or didn't lie well. so now i'm confused, has anyone else had this with their children, any advice please xxx

Hi, M very nearly 9, has adhd and HFA, At school he seems to cope, the word here is SEEMS as his teacher says he is doing ok in school, but all hell lets loose when he gets home, his paed says this is a typical autism behaviour. he also won't tell a teacher if anything happens in school that upsets him, but waits till he gets home, Why? can anyone shed light on this and do any of your children behave the same way?

M does this especially when frustrated or upset, its awful to watch, really scares me that he'll hurt himself or knock him self out, he does it so hard. His Pead says he won't do any damage to himself its more distressing to us as parents... MMmmm not so sure if i can get to him in timeor read the signals i hold him until the moment has passed, i hate it... but so glad reading this that i'm not alone xxxx

Hate ironing, I iron, put it away, next children have gone through their cupboards and screwed everything up. and cleaning the toilet, why can't boys aim properly ?

just saw this, and voted M came home today from school very upset and angry as some boys in the year above him, hit, kicked, poked him in the eyes and shoved his head against a metal fence giving him a nose bleed. he was so upset he didn't eat his lunch,and hid at the nexy break has anyone from school informed us about this NO. will be going into school tomorrow, I'm so .

Glad i'm not the only one, amazing how much tidying you can do in 15 mins before o/h gets home, not that i spend every minute on the forum of course LOL but its so nice to know i'm not alone with the problems, just to offload is a relief. (just liked the rabbit)

HI mummy,M' always been a fussy eater,so we thought he was just being awkward, its got worse, i would say over the last 6months, he won't eat in front of people either, apart from our immediate family, my brother poppedin yesterday morning and M was eating his breakfast, he stopped came into the kitchen with his bowl and said he'd eat it later, he won't eat in other peoples homes either. He was weighrd last wednesday,and he's going back in 3 months, the nurse has mentioned it to our GP.

Hi all and thanks for the warm welcome everyone

M isn't eating, well he eats, but only certain things, this is all new to me, we thought he was just being awkward but now we know its to do with his autism, really worried as he is losing weight, we've tried different combinations of foods, setting it all out seperatley, just not sure what to try now. If anyones else has this problem i would love to know how you deal with this any ideas would be great.

This happened to me the other day M ( 8 adhd & HFA) wanted a drink, as we were going into the shop i said he could get some water, not coke as he wanted, well he kicked me, punched me, called me names all round the shop, it was awful, my sympathies hun, its the stares that get to me as well, its "your a bad parent attitude" that does it as well. And how lovely of that lady definatley an Angel, shame more people aren't like that xxxx

Hi new on here, have posted a couple of times, but then everything happened at once and i didn't get back on here. So thought i'd say Hello properly, My names Alexandra and Darky introduced me as i know her from the adders forum. My youngest son (8) has been diagnosed with HFA, took a few weeks to get our heads round it all, as he has adhd as well, now we see that it explains a few things. I'm lucky to be a stay at home mum (i think), and we have 3 other children 1 with adhd as well, our eldest left home last summer, think it all got too much for him.... and thats left our daughter sandwiched between 2 boys both with adhd and one HFA, poor girl she does struggle. Anyway hope to get to know you all and make new friends (hopefully) as well as get advice. xxxxxx

New to this, my son 8 nearly 9 has been diagnosed with HFA, he has adhd and is on strattera 40mg, will he gets medication to help HFA probably more for the anxiety or isn't there any. May sound a thick question but we were given the dx and sort of left on our own, so whats next?
