I watch the interview and the boy had a fit while they were filming The father was almost in tears. NAS Gavin Owen said that over 35,000 letters, emails, faxes and phonecalls were complaining about how people with autism were not getting the proper care they needed. It so unfair that parents have to go on National to get something that they are entitled. If they are saying there is such a shortage of SALT....well health professionals in general.....it must be money.... There was a survey done a few years ago asking students why they are doing certain degrees and not others....and alot of their choices came down to the careers advice they were given at school. The same survey look at why students with disabilities do not do certain jobs....and it came down to the college not spending money on amenties to help people with disabilities. ....we are living in the 21st Century and still have almost victorian attitude to medical care depending on where you live and how the health departments deals with people.

Maybe writing to them or ringing them.... Autism Research Centre, Section of Developmental Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Douglas House, 18b Trumpington Road, CAMBRIDGE, CB2 2AH, England. Tel: 01223-746057 Hope you can get some help.....All the best

....sorry.... Already got a carer's allowance....my friend was telling me about a grant you can apply for ...just for carers...no means test apparently.... That why we can not go for the family fund... My friend mention you go thruogh social services... I was wondering if anyone else had gone for it and how they did it. It ok, will ask my key worker tomorrow. Thanks

Sorry if this sounds like an obvious question to everyone.... My friend was telling to apply for it today. Thanks

I was told that....only a few people in life can do these things well......... Drive a car to reasonable standard Swim all four strokes And ride a bike As each thing needs different skills I can do the swimming one and drive...

Thought your posts were excellent about different situation.... My one is not one I am pride of....but I think we might have all felt it at one time....in Asda....only need a few things....so let T who was three walk around.....he spotted something he wanted....but only had enough money and time to get milk.....so he decide he was going to run away, making alot of noise.....fine you think....at the time I was waiting to go into hospital to have an op.....manage to grab him....before he really got into motion..... Had a group of women tuttering and saying the usual thing about behaviour etc..... I just snap...not sure out of agony or anger.... I think I said something like 'he has autism, and his behaviour is not always perfect.....what is your excuse.....' and stormed off....with no milk....and a child tuck under my arm..... Send S my partner out later to get the milk.....

Thanks to all

Thanks for the link.....

Glad to help!

Hi there

I watch this programme...and O who is 8 and AS got really upset....that his favourite presenter Richard Hammond was talking about Autism.... I was going to complain to the BBc....but he did not really do anything wrong.... Me and O had a chat..and he was fine....well he watch top gear on the Sunday...

Is there any websites for this please? Seen a leaflet and lost it.... IS it British Gas? Thanks

I am in the same positiion applying for jobs.... and always think my Cv looks sad compare to how it used to look..... BUT I wanted to change it...so started to Sudoku most papers carry a version of it....alot of websites have got it...and carol vorderman done a book... So i am not lying when i say i do Sudoku.... just not mentioning....not always completing them.... may look into doing a dress making course instead...more my cup of tea....lol

Spend a good part of last year....trying to potty train T.... He reaches his fourth birthday.....when you can get free nappies.....two boxes delivery every eight weeks.....and he is dry during the day..... Typical........but fanastic news really..... Well Done T.....

I have not been around for a while..... The last year of getting T statemented before attending School in September has exhausted my brain..... Well it paid off....T has got 25 hours.....and two support workers....which is really good for our local area. For all the people who recognise my name...I want to say hi.....for those that don't another hi...and for all the new members.....and a hi too! Thanks

Mainly because of my boys...she has made a bit thing on giving her second single vacination because of MMR AND AUTISM LINK....
