    Phoning school

    hi koala here i phoned up some special schools today for k have been putting it off ,so today was the day it was fine they were all helpful it did,t make me feel any better but the first step is there we will be visiting them over the next few weeks take care koala
  4. hi shaz we applied for the carers allowence and got it,we did have to go to our local jobcentre for an interview about jobs,not the best expierience i have had,i have never claimed for anything before and was made to feel very uncomfortable but i wasnt going to let anybody get to me,so pushed forward the key is not to let all those forms get to you think of the bigger picture hope all goes well koala
  5. <'> <'> <'> hi koala here we felt very numb when we got kierans dx we knew what the prob was but when someone tells you its like a smack in the face but 6 months on it gets easier to cope with your child is still the same child and you are the same as parents a great big hug goes out to you take care koala <'> <'> <'>
  6. hi koala here if kieran could he would watch tv 24/7, when he wakes its tv on in my bedroom at 5am,then we go onto dvd and video phase after brekfast the tv has to be left on when he,s sitting at the dining table so he can listen to it rather than look at it,the obsessions with a certain dvd can be endless we sometimes have to watch the same dvd for days.i try and limit the tv but as with many children with as /asd its there best friend but what can you do take care koala
  7. hi everyone thanks for the posts it is soooooooooo hard when you are constantly being wacked by your children, maybe its the holidays the playgroup routine is not there the same day shopping is not there due to going out e.t.c perhaps they feel more confused.thanks for the kind words take care koala
  8. hi everyone am having problems on a major scale with kieran we are having headbutting,biteing,kicking you name it . now i know this sounds like your average 3 year old but getting a child with asd that doesn't understand the word no is becoming a real battle we use pecs a lot and i have made flash cards with no bite ,no kick etc i feel like im bashing my head against a brick wall any advice please thanks koala

    Clothing.

    hi koala here kieran would only ever wear tops with no buttons on shirts are a no no dungarees no way only his favorite coat, anything new and it was a big row will only wear hats every now and then,the change over from spring to summer a problem he still wants to wear jeans on a boiling hot day but has improved but cutting down first to long shorts and then to short shorts its all fun and games take care koala.
  10. hi kierans current obsession is the thunderbirds we know all the vehicles every single episode that was ever made e.t.c you could go on and on. anxiety well plasters,sudocreme his list is endless i would be here all night.p.s thomas the tank engine comes a close second at the moment. take care koala

  12. hi nellie many thanks for the link to haircut info has given me some great tips to try we will see how it goes next time many thanks this website has been a godsend cheers koala
  13. hi all does anyone else have the dreaded haircut problem, the hairdresser now comes to our house because taking to the hairdressers used to be a waste of an appt, kieran is fine when she walks in the door but as soon as the scissors and brush come out we scream and rage and kick and cry until the ordeal is over why does he do this? any tips would be great its exhausting not a good day today cheers a fed up koala.
