Hi All
I haven't been on here for the last couple of months, things have just been so hectic.
I've had a bad few days with C, he had one of his worst meltdowns to date on thursday, and he has become so strong now that it really worried me.
(and hurt me 
)I've been searching and reading up as usual and came across weighted blankets.
Does anyone have any experience of using them, just wondered what the thoughts were.
Also what are they weighted down with?
Thanks.

I'm normal, everyone else is abnormal ( as long as I believe that all is well

Sorry Carol,
I wasn't going to get involved with this but I think the whole idea of a forum is that if you post something up, it results in a discussion, thats why forums are so great because you can get so many diffrent peoples perspectives and opinions.
I do feel that if you post you have to be open to other people commenting on your post!

My Ds started taking Clarocet junior a couple of months ago and I've noticed a huge diffrence in him as has everyone else.

Thanks I like that saying - just so true. At least we can all always come on here and have people who understand

When I fetched my ds1 from school today he told me he didn't ever want to see one of his 'friends' mothers. This little boy - you all know the type- loves winding C up and then thinks it very funny when C reacts, usually by pushing, hitting etc. Now I know C is no angel but he doesn't understand.
Anyway this boys mother goes into the class at the end of the day and says to the teacher - a substitute, not regular - and points at C and say's 'I don't want my son near that boy, he pushed him!!!!!!!!!'
Needless to say I went straight to the head, she was brilliant and said she will speak to the mother. But I was so angry, I've no problem if she wanted to complain about C but surely its common sense not to do it in front of the children.
Sorry just needed to rant!!!!

Not sure if I'm allowed to name it - Mod's please change if its wrong.
Partylite - a candle company - you can go online and find them, used to do loads of tealight holders like the one you are talking about.
Hope you find the right one.

When my son was dx, his pead said he was very definitly asd but had so many other traits that she didn't think she would ever be able to fully dx him. She said he was obviously a very complex little boy - I could have told them that years ago!!!!!

(it was a squeezy one with a net over it and it sort of squeezed like pustulent spots through the net... it was fab)... but like all of them it burst.
I got my Ds the same stress ball, there was goo all over his hands before we got home
, just glad he didn't wipe his hands all over the car seat

My DS was refered to both. They did some tests with him - (they both worked together) did some writing, hopping, getting him to walk on a straight line on his tippee toe, throwing and catching.
The OT then used to come into his school 1 day everyweek for a couple of hours. She used to help him with his hand writing and fine motor skills. It was very useful and he got alot out of it.
Hope this helps.

Brooke since I read your post I've been thinking about this loads and listening to C.
He does exactly the same thing. The other morning we were chatting and he suddenly went off on a complete diffrent tangent - luckly I pick up what he was talking about - but it seems to happen often!!!

Hi Brooke

<'> <'> <'> Honest we've all been there and done the same thing, at the end of the day we are human and we get to our limit too.
Don't beat yourself up about it, great advice from previous posts.
Take care x

My fear is that if we have a chatroom we will lose the feeling of community that has been built up over time and which is such a big part of this forum. My experience of other forums (not ASD) is that chatrooms tend to be frequented by the more established members and therefore a hierarchy is created with various cliques who chat among themselves and others who are excluded.What we have now is a place where everyone feels welcome and listened to whether they are making their 1st post or their 1000th. It would be a pity to lose that. For those who wish to talk privately - we still have a very efficient pm system - and there's always the phone..

I really wasn't sure how to vote but after read your reply Kathryn I agree with what you've said, we have a very unique thing lets keep it that way!!!

My boy is very big - he's 6 years old and wears size 3 shoe and 9-10 clothes!!!!

My son is on a dairy free diet which really helped with his hyperactivity. He also takes some herbal tablets - not sure if I'm allowed to put the link up so if you pm me I can send you the link - but I've seen a huge improvement in his anxiety, behaviour and concentration.

Amanda, my thoughts are with you and your family. Will keep you all in my prayers

I do know exactly how you feel. At DS1 first school I used to stand in the playground waiting to fetch him and probably 2 or 3 times a week I would hear parents talking about him. The other thing I got was children telling me how naughty he had been that day - always in front of my DS and their mom's.
Its so hard not to take it personally, but at least the school are behind you on it.
Good luck

Hi Joybed
I sympathise wth you and what you are going through. It sounds very similar to our household at the the moment. My DS is only 6 but has become so manipulative and argumentative about everything. He's always had violent outbursts and although these have reduced in number since he started on medication he is just getting so big that the ones he does have are becoming very scary.
His poor brother and myself get the rough end of the deal and although we really could do with a holiday away I just haven't got the courage to do it just yet.
Sorry I have no advice but just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you and hope you manage to have a good holiday.
