I tend to focus on boards and threads which either interest or effect me. I bit like TV, if I don't like whats on a channel I switch over ! As I always say, everyone is only human and everyone is different that's what makes the world go round. Clare x x x

Flora I can not thank you enough for all the support and encouragement you have given me in fighting the LEA and finally getting my son a place in the school he deserves. Your advice has been so valuable and I don't think I would have achieved this without you. The exeriences you shared with me helped me no idea and I now think its will be a huge loss to others who may come along in a simular position and will not benefit from your wealth of expereince and knowledge in this field. Wishing you much happiness in the future, I will be in touch. Clare x x x

Thank you JSMum for all the support you have given me over the past few months. I hope J's new placement goes well. Wishing you all the best for the future and if you ever need a friend please do not hesitate to contact me. Clare x x x x (have sent you a pm)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 99 years young !!!!! Hope you have a lovely day Clare x x x

I think you have run out of choices and that you have made a very brave decision, yes it does sound harsh but what else is there left to do. Thinking of you, you must be at the end of your tether <'> <'> <'> <'> Clare x x x

Fantastic Clare x x x

Oh my goodness.....the big question, the meaning of life, well if you ever find the answer please do let me know. Clare x x x x PS Bet you could find it on a snowy mountain somewhere

Thank you everyone.... Clare x x x

Maybe they are listening to you at last, like Karen says if you can get a hold of the compliants procedure that wou;ld give you a guide. Basically I would be inclined to ensure I had a clear agenda of points/issues I wish to raise together with details of meeting etc., where they have not turned up, no reports and things promised not delivered. You are bound to feel scared, but don't let it get the better of you, take your OH or your Mum or a friends and don't be fobbed off. Good luck Clare x x x x

Thank you everyone for your kinds wishes..... Well after a very wobbly start at home where he wanted to die, was never ever going to eat or drink again and taking 25 minutes to put on just a T-shirt, the day went extremly well I think the majority of the staff came to tell me how well he had done and even the receptionist said she saw him at lunch time actually eating his lunch (at the 2 day assesment would not even entertain the idea of eating with everyone, and there he was today having gammon steak, roast potatoes, steamed carrots, a roll and butter, a glass of water and a yoghurt !!!!!!) He joined in with all the lessons, albeit quietly and sat back, even went to games to watch what they were doing. I went to my parents for the day as they live close to the school and when we got home I had an answer phone message form Connor's teacher saying how well he was doing and that I was not to worry, which I thought was very nice. Of course he is exhausted tonight, so don't think it will be long before he is in bed, has tomorrow off and back on Thursday. I don't think he will ever be jumping through hoops about going to school but think he is beginning to see that his new school is nothing at all like his old mainstream. He came out this afternoon very positive and happy without reeling off a load of negatives or problems, so I am very encouraged, obviously its early days but can really see him fitting in very nicely.

How long Tally has it been since she has become unhappy again.....its nothing to do with the fireworks is it ??? Please don't knock yourself, your our resident Cat psychologist on this forum, I am sure you will get to the bottom of what is troubling her. Clare x x x

JsMum, Such a testing time for you and many mixed emotions about J going to his new school. I think you have handled it very well and its just goes to show how strong and in control you are. Does not make things any easier I know, this is huge for both of you. <'> <'> <'> Clare x x x

Aw Farfalla............I'll miss you, will we have chance for a doggy walk before you go Sorry don't have advice re moving to another county.......but best of luck all the same and I just know you'll be happier once you finally get back "home" to Plymouth. <'> <'> <'> <'> <'> <'> Clare x x x

Joybed, What an awful time you and M are having, no wonder the poor child is unable to work or even want to go to school. Glad to hear they finally are taking you seriously and don't worry about telling them straight. <'> <'> <'> Clare x x x

Well its been a long long time coming and the day is almost upon us (Tuesday ~ 11th November) when DS starts his new Asperger Specialist School. He is feeling somewhat anxious and keeps saying he is scared and bless him because I am not feeling much better myself. We have had a fragile few days and he has really shown his insecurities, but I am so proud of him and know he can do this. Thank you to everyone who hs been on this long journey with us, your support has been so valuable. <'> <'> <'> Wish us luck, please Clare x x x x
