Good luck Loraine <'> Theresa

Hi all , well it's been months and I finally feel I can pop back and say hello to all . I hope all is going well for everyone ,will take me a while to catch up on things. Things are good for me and K at the moment...I missed you all and still haven't found a forum as good as this one. Taking it slowly, I will just read posts for now and leave it a while before posting replies but I will be around ..if thats ok. Take care, Theresa

Thankyou all for the wonderful support. I am almost in tears reading the posts. This is a wonderful forum. I have been on here since nov 2004 and I bless the day I found it.( thanks to another member... you know who you are). I am still a little upset at what happened and feel I can't be here now,but thanks to you all I will consider coming back when I have had some time out. Take care all,you are wonderful people.. <'>

Hi to all who know me. Just wanted to let you all know that I am not going to be coming on this site again. I have been looking in now and then but won't be again. I have been accused of attacking someone on this forum a while back when all I did was give my opinion. I apologised for offending( I was going through a really bad time back then and took offence to something that was said) but it was thrown back at me. I also sent a pm wishing them well but was told not to contact again.This person knows who they are and I wish them nothing but good wishes for their future and that of their family. They post here a lot now so I do not want to intrude. The forum has been a great help to me but it is now time for me to go and concentrate on other things. Take care and best wishes to you all.

Wish L a very Happy Birthday, well done to you for getting her this far . May you both have a bright and happy future!

Great idea,I may pop in again more often. K is 16 now and this sub forum could be really useful. Thanks

Great news glad it's going so well.

<'> Nellie, I don't be here much now but you were one of the first to welcome me to this site. You always gave great advice and were here for me through good times and bad. Thankyou so much!

Karin, I don't be on here much now, just look in now and then, so sorry to hear about your loss. Take care.

Best wishes to eveyone, have a great day!

Thank you so much everyone .

Great to hear such good news. I too can't believe what a difference a year can make. Looks like things are good for both of us. Well done!

Hi all, Don't get the chance to be on much now. K continues to do well and is in very good spirts. This last year he has come on in leaps and bounds. He is a fine big lad. Very caring,sensitive and quite mature. We get on really well and he is also getting on well with the rest of the family. His older brother and himself are real men and their conversations go way over my head! He will be 16 after xmas. He still does his martial arts and his wrestling,four nights a week and is quite sociable at these. Still doesn't go out and mix other than this and also won't go to school other than one to one five hours a week,but it seems to suit him. I do check in to see how you are all doing,a lot of new members I don't know and who don't know me but I read how you are all doing. For those of you going through a bad time, take a look at my earlier posts when k was first dx. This site was my saviour then and I will never forget all the help I got here. I came through and so will you. My main piece of advice would be trust your instincts no matter what your told, no one knows your child like you. To all members new and old I wish you all a very happy and peaceful xmas xx

Thats the way I feel now too. I have been through a lot with K and for now at least I feel I have come out the other side. I grieved too but mainly because we didn't get a dx for him until he was 13 yrs old (not for the want of trying).I think what I grieved about was lost time,lack of help, and guilt for letting him be labeled as a naughty or bad child plus years of bad experiences in school. For those going through that now my heart goes out to you. I went through a very bad time with K at the beginning of adolesence but now I have a fine strapping young lad of just about 16 (next month) and I would like to say that we get on really well and I am so proud of him for all he has achieved this past year. There is light at the end of this tunnel. I don't find time to post much now but always check in now and again. Take care all. <'>

Glad it went ok, at least you weren't fobbed off. Good luck with the appointment

Good news hope it continues to go well for your son.

Hope it goes well.

I don't post much anymore but so glad to see you back .You were here when I first joined. Hope things continue to improve for you. You're post really touched me and after reading it I can only say that you are a good mother and I have the utmost respect for you and your decision. May life give you all you wish for .Take care. Theresa

Paula <'> <'> my son was a nightmare to live with from 12 to 15 but going on 16 now he seems to have gotton easier to handle.So it does get better when all the hormones settle down.

Thinking of you

Hi to all who know me on the board and welcome to all who have joined while I wasn't around. I just thought I would check in with an update on how things are. I am back in work at my old job I'd left last xmas to look after my son who was not too good back then. K is in great form these days and we have had a really good summer.Normally except for his Tai Kwon Do he never goes outside the door all summer.All that has changed. He has an obsession with professional wrestling ( one of his obsessions) and watches all the american wrestling he can, plays it on his ps2 and spends hours on the computer on wrestling sites( which is partly why I'm not on here anymore!). I used to think it was a bit of a nuisance ,but at least he was happy. A while ago my older boy discovered that professional wrestling was being promoted over here in ireland near enough to where we live and both him and K started to go to the shows,which was great as K was getting out and about. After going to see about six shows since last march K decided he wanted to join, I was wary and said I would think about it when school holidays came. He still wanted to join and although I was worried he might get hurt he was determined. I spoke to our Gp who thought it would be good for him as it is a contact sport ( of sorts) and also a lot of interaction takes place both in and out of the ring. I checked everything out first,spoke to the guys in charge who were really nice,at K's request we mentioned his dyspraxia but didn't mention his AS. Well he is getting on fine he trains twice a week, and also helps out at shows .He is making friends there and mingles easily with all ,trainers and trainees. He still does his martial arts also. He has matured a lot since he joined and our relationship is great. School of course starts again for him one to one ,mid september not sure how that will go but we are taking it one day at a time. I won't get much chance to post but will keep checking in to see how everyone is. THANKYOU so much to all who helped me in the past on this forum, I had some good times and some bad but there was always someone here to share it with, a special Thanks to the few who always responded and sent pm's you know who you are! This site is a really valuable one, so long may it last,again to all a big THANKYOU. Hope all is well with you all and best of luck to everyone. Theresa xx <'> <'>

Best wishes to you all <'> <'>

CONGRATULATIONS and WELL DONE!!!!

Well done I remember getting to the end of mine and thinking thats it but now I am thinking of doing something else in september maybe a night course in languages. I know how hard it is to do a course from home so congratulations on getting it finished.

So pleased for you Kathryn,great news!!
