hmmnn have heard you are all a bit bonkers but having read the last few posts re: Caped Crusader I think that this is not a myth but a fact. Good to hear so many people "laugh". Had to chuckle myself. Can't think of anything better than being rescued by one of you when I have problems with the LEA which no doubt I will. At least I can still laugh! Mind you it has been more tears than laughter recently but hey ho life is a bit of a b***h sometimes. Onwards and upwards I say!

Hi all a question for all of you. My son was diagnosed as autistic in June this year. He will be 3 in September. My hubby is convinced that before he had his MMR he was "normal" (and I use the term loosely) and that since he had the MMR he developed Austism. My questions is: when he is due to have his next lot of MMR is this going to make matters worse or will he stay the same. Has anyone else had this type of experience/query? I am in two minds to have him innoculated if he is going to be worse off having it, but then again i think he should be immunised to stop him getting a disease that could lead to brain damage/blindness/infertility etc etc. Any advise would be greatly received although i know that there is no real answer but your thoughts would be great <'>

Hi my name is Caroline and I am married to Graham and have a son called Julian. Julian will be 3 in September. He was diagnosed as having Autisim on the 7th June 2004 and to cap it all off I am 7 months pregant with number 2! Talk about emotional. Julian is a happy healthy 3 year old who suffers mild to moderate autism but we are waiting for a further assessment in October to see if things have improved/regressed etc. Have been finding things very difficult to cope with over the last few months especially with Graham not being quite able to cope with the diagnosis and pretending that if he ignores it it will go away. Julian goes to a mainstream nursery and is being given one to one assistance for part of his time there and we are looking at getting him further assistance through Portage (no luck yet tho!), he also attends at the local hospital nursery which is specifically for children with his condition once a week for 2 hours which he enjoys. Julian's main problem is lack of speech and understanding of english although he loves to sing and can sing the tune to most records after having heard it just once - a musical genius perhaps! Don't know where he gets that from - not me! Well i heard about your forum through babyworld and have decided to have a look and see how things go, am looking for people who live in the Bournemouth/Christchurch/Poole region who are in similar positions to get together with and have coffee etc. The nearest NAS support group to me is Salisbury and being quite heavily pregant and suffereing from PSD means getting around is a bit of a problem. Love to hear from any one else who can help cheer me up! I know miserable ole moo I am. Caroline
