    I must admit I ALWAYS have my keys on me.

    In this house you have to actively turn th key in the lock to lock the door .....

    I was locked out the house many times when we lived in London ...we had a dodgy yale lock that kept slipping and you'd discovered that you were locked out when you only went to hang the washing out.

    Not sure I've got a positive for today ....it's been vey much a 'nothing' day. Not really sure why.

    That was me trying to be half way positive.....

    if you want the truth Bard : I got shouted at by ES.

    Madam was mainly good ...as long as you didn't ask her to do anything when she um'ed about it so much you wondered if it was worth the bother.

    YS has been as high as a kite all day .... with volume to match. He has been extra 'bouncy'. Definetly needs to climb the stairs at Elcho Castle soon (another 7 days to go)

    DH has spent most of the day in front of the machine - what's new.

     

    In theory he was uppose to be decorating our bedroom this last week whilst on holiday .... he was done NOTHING towards it.

    My YS had his tonsils done last August aged 7. He was in for just 1 night ... we arrived at 9am after no breakfast at home. His operation was about 3pm and then we both stayed in over-night and were discharged about 11am the next day.

     

    I slept on a camp bed beside his bed.

     

    DH's view was that YS should have managed without me - mainly because he had a similar op when he was about 3 and nobody stayed with him! (40 years ago) :wallbash:

     

    Ys did have a sore throat after... he would only take Ibrofen or calpol he wouldn't let them give the stronger painkillers post-op because the liquid was too 'yukky'. He didn't mind his special spray though which was a can of local anaethetic spray for his throat.

     

    He loved the fact that he travelled to the operating theatre by electric car - it was even yellow (his favourite colour).

    This could be him set for life then .... especially if they are really as friendly as they seem initally.

    Is he being counted as 'disabled'?

    My BiL has a history of mental instability - he tends to be fine for years at a time ..... he ended up in the NHS on a 'disability' card because big organisations have to have a minimum % of their workforce classified as 'disabled' so they love to have someone who works hard with minimum adaptations but still ups their disability rate.

     

    Or is it me just being cynical??

    Pauline, As Sue says tick as many boxes as you can ...

    Put all the Special Rules paperwork in the big filing cabinet aka the bin.

     

    Hope you are getting a 'professional' such as 'Parent-2-parent' or CAB to go through it with you because it is a horrid document to fill in.

    We only really got help from school once we actually got a dx, or label or what ever you want to call to it. I also think the dx helped us with our DLA application.

     

    Clare x x x

     

    I also am a believer in an upfront dx : DD was initally dx as 'Oppositional/confrontational Disorder' which no one, included me, knew what that meant.

    I would never argue that she isn't oppositional and confrontatiopnal but those are personality traits/symptoms NOT a dx in my view - it took me another 2 years fight to get the Consultant to agree that she i Aspergers and a lot of her behaviour is due to her inability to cope with situations and she is calming down asshe gets older and becomes more aware of the world and her role/interactions in it.

     

    Even noe she gets no support at school because she managed academically (top level of all subjects) but if she has no needs/issues why won't they consider letting her go on the trip to Holland this year??

    13 months in advance school has already played the 'Health and Safety 'card at the mere idea of her going with her class mates. And Yes she did want to go in theory. Whether she would have changed her mind closer to the date I don't know but she won't be given the chance.

    Oh what a mess.

     

    Hope you've found some people to be on your side.

     

    How does your GP view you? I'm sure you've already thought of them if they are positive for yo.

     

    As the others say ....what are is going on that they are asking/making you meet the foster family before the Court Case.

     

    Use this fact against them ...that you feel that it is a pre-judged case and you are not getting a fair hearing.

     

    Good Luck.

    Welcome ...

     

    Your year sounds similar to my youngest (P3 - aged 8) although they never got as far as putting him on his own with 2 SLAs he went down the 'part-time' schooling route instead - he also starts at a new school in August (Scottish summer hols June-August) in an Autistic Base.

     

    My eldest (now 14+) had over a year of 'single-room' schooling aged 8 ...

     

    I hate P3 year at school ...each of my children have 'blown' that year.

     

    I am still very new and I've found here very friendly.

    We had an extension built on last year and already you can not find a spare shelf/corner. :whistle:

     

    I hate paperwork but that seems to hoared itself. :angry:

     

    DH has a shed full of bits that might be needed. :hypno:

     

    ES has a low-high bed that is totally chocker underneath - I keep telling him I'm going to drag the whole lot out so he can tidy it :devil: ..... I don't object to the boxes it the fact that things get shoved under there never to see the light of day again.

     

    DD have the one mainly tidy room ... she still hoards but she has a home for everything. :thumbs:

     

    YS has a bad case of being a 8yr old boy so we have lego boxes x4; giant box of wooden railway set; boxes of vechiles x2; jigsaws; castle (with people +weapons) of course. :wub:

     

    I seem to be able to clear out the children's clothes but not allowed to touch DH's. I also have clothes that I haven't worn in x years (because I don't fit in them) :shame:

     

    ARRGGGHHH you've just made me realise how out of control this house is. :(

     

    I WILL tidy it properly once everyone is back in school/work after 16th August. I Promise .......as YS says 'I will be good ,I will be good, I promise.
