hi the Neil...Christmas is a funny old time of year. It does make people aware of them being alone.my hubby works away from home and he was in norway for a month over christmas and new year i was in scotland.and i have to say it wasnt very nice being on my tod.did you go to your mums?now i know you said you werent going to see your family...im not sure being on your own was a good idea.... as for work what about a mp3 player in your luggs.so you can listen to your sounds.maybe somthing calming... i think you should take it easy and not make to many big moves just now you have a lot to be coming to terms with.did you do your part time evening job thing? as for people not speaking to you..well just try to be open to people who might try to comunicate with you.i dont do social situations very well either..and ive actually been fired from jobs for being weird....lol my hubby has just said that you should come and work with him in seismic..he says there is tons of asd and aspergers people in that field...and no one minds not talking to each other as long as everyone is invited at the end of a shift to go for a drink and a meal......and they are screaming out for people who are computer buffs....january is a terrible time of year everything is dark and cold and miserable...sorry you are feeling a bit out of things.....oh my hubby has just suggested tiger woods computer game for you to try which is a hoot...lol.you need to find somthing so you can relax... love noogsy and cam....xx

hi .i think it is worth the effort.what i did was i wrote all my stuff down about louis in the form of a big essay all the anactodotal stuff.i encluded my essay in with my DLA forms....i didnt have a problem with the dla i got it for lou straigh away....i also got help from the DHSS..there is a lady there that will come out and help me with the forms.also my friend got help from CAB...when we found out what was wrong with my wee boy i had a mini moment to myself.packed in my job.had millions of appointments with people,school,doctors,specialists.and i admit i couldnt spin all the plates....financially i need dla and carers to survive...and be all i need to be for my kid....no one will look after my wee one for me because he is destructive....i hope i have been of some help....the form is a nightmare..can i just say my little boy is very articulate ,very bright,but has some big issues regarding behaviour....love noogsy

hi fiorelli.my little boy is on 40xl he is 9 years old and is just under 5 stone he is 142cms(quite tall)but i think for his height and weight his meds can ( the doctor thinks it) go up to 50xl.we are keeping the last 10 for emergencies.ie if his meds stop working......for us it has made such a differnce for my wee boy because the day he started his meds he started to talk to people in his class this was a huge breakthrough.he had a bash at playing football(very badly)his writting improved(ie the teacher could read it)we were unhappy about going down the meds route but frankly it has been the best thing for our babe...even if it makes us as parents cringe a bit....my louis is doing really well.he has gone from a child who we thought would be at special school to a child who is going to be staying mainstream and going to normal high school...hope i have helped..love noogsy

hi fiorelli... my little boy also a louis was moved on to equasym xl and so far we have had good results with him.his tic has calmed down and his asd hasnt got worse.he is also doing better at school.i do hope for your little lad things improve.love noogsy

the same sort of theing has happened with my little boy.my little boy doesnt go to pantomimes or theatre or anything like that.last year he was forced to the pantomime and he spewed everywhere including two members of staff...lol..the school gave him a job to do this year instead of going to the pantomime he was in charge of the photocopier.oddly enough louis loves dancing and take him to a small dance class..copiera which he loves.but he dosent perform in the show.louis also does taekwondo i decided to give this a bash after reading the book about the jackson family.he also love it but again it is a small class.hope i have helped love noogsy

i suppose i do grieve, i grieve for my big son whos life was intorable at school.i grieve for my family who have had millions of problems including suicides.my family has been blighted by asd and adhd.my dads side of the family has issues.and now we have five children diagnosed with asd and adhd within our large family...i do grieve for our family to be.my childrens,children.my grand children will they have this burden... oh yes i have thought about it....love noogsy

hi my little boy has duel diagnosis of asd and adhd.i think because he has both it has helped him.he has had a lot of help from his school tons of funding.he has a aspergers teacher one to one for 7 hours a week.he is main stream and doing very well.we expect him to go to mainstream high school as his education has just about caught up with his peers.we think him having medication has been the best thing for him.as soon as he started on meds he started comunicating with us and his teachers.his writing improved dramatically.he stopped pushing people around.he is a diffrent boy.there is tons of ignorance about ADHD.ie poor parenting,bad diet blah blah blah.but of coase that is true of asd to.from what our specialist has says there can be a cross over.of ASD,ADHD,ODD,OCD,TICS. eating problems...and some others that my brain has forgoten.it is all very intresting.... love noogsy

hi we used the connors rating scale to which is a diagnostic tool..it is well thought of...and focuses on the child...the parent does it and all the childs teachers do it..so in theory it should come back and can be read by a expert....it will have a common thread running through from all the teachers.. the list you were given by the school is a bit odd. do you think it is somthing from a student teacher who is intrested in kids with difficulties?? i would be inclined to phone them up and ask why they think that it would be helpfull?. where it came from?. and are you a guinypig for someone?? id take a copy of it for your file so you can show it to your own specialist...not that us parents are paranoid or anything ....lol. lets hope at the end of the day the school are trying to help your child. hope i have helped noogsy

hi because we have the nhs here we dont pay for childrens prescriptions...adults pay �6.70ish per prescription..if we had to pay for meds here i think most of us would be struggling.i know that a lot of the newer drugs are very expensive,strattera,concerta,eqyasim to name but a few.but for us medication has been a way forward.my we boy is no longer agressive and he is happy in him self....love noogsy

ahhhhh so your child may have allergies,wheat....and changing his diet hasnt helped...ok my big son who is undergoing adult evalution for asd and adhd..big long story...which i could bore all of scotland with.... but he has the puking thing. my big son pukes he has been puking since he was about 4 or 5 years old. we never found anything wrong with him. he has had the camera look in his tummy. barium meal. he has had anti sick drugs(the ones given to people on chemo)still didnt stop him puking....... we found out that david had depression puking was davids way of telling us he was unhappy. or upset or just plain miserable david stopped puking when he was put on anti depressants when he was 15... david has a phisical reaction to stress... now my son is 24 and specialists are looking at him and they think he has asd and possibley add inattentive type.. if you need to know more mail me... love noogsy

did they send you a acompanying letter with this erm rating scale thingy.....i have to say i would be a bit bemused if i was sent this. noogsy..who are the results for, you????, the school?? or someone eles??...

hi there..my little boy has meds to and for him the change was a miracle.i know it doesnt work for everyone but for my babe he is in mainstream and doing very well..cross fingers..we dont pay for medication here in scotland.......noogsy

aw.. isn't holland perfect...i do think it is a kind of bereavement process and parent s can be angry,unbelieving of what is being said.then flat on your backside because the rug has been pulled from under you.then eventually accpetance.it is so difficult and complete depends on the parents .some people can end up depressed with struggling with schools,specialists,doctors,SS,paperwork,letters,appointments... everysingle person has a different experience......when my little boy was seen by our gp when i thought at first the was something wrong with louis,he said what a shame for you ,you are going to have a long hard journey???.i didn't know what he meant i was sorry for my child....i now know what he meant....at the end of the day a have beautiful child...who is loved although we have to fight for every single thing he needs...hope i have helped... love noogsy

hi TN..why not rip some pages out of a coloring in book ,and tell him color them in himself.... .i have revel-dar...but lucky me loves all of the revels.....if anythink im not keen on the toffees incase they break my teeth as hubby keeps putting the sweeties in the fridge.....or worse the freezer...... ....lol...noogsy

hi claire the thing is that life changes and for asd people they cant cope.but they still have to go on.i think your babe will adapt because he has to.the other alternative is that he stays in the house.its not a great option.i would take him even if it is just so he can get his bearings and get to know a few friendly faces...love noogsy

hi M i think you should sit and explain things to your babe.i think his imagination has went into super drive.he is thinking alsorts......he has told the teacher worst case senario and worser...i do think this is a asd thing.....galloping hypocondria.where you exagirate the prognosis.i hope after you talk to him that he calms down....noogsy

hi this has happened with one of our friends kids exactly the same thing.he got kicked in the eye at tae kwon do.he went into school the next day and told his teacher.but when he was telling he had said his dad had elbowed him in the eye,then he changed his story half way through and told that it had happened at tae kwon do.the next the family new the child protection arrived at the house on a saturday afternoon with the police and they took statements.the whole thing was a nightmare.the mum is a primary school teacher.the dad is a builder.the child is autistic.........everyone was checked out and the tae kwon do teacher also gave a statement... saying yes he was booted in the eye....we think that the SS go for easy targets....the family that this all happened to will never get over it.and are scared of the ss and there power.they will never feel the same way about the police or the school....and the wee boy he got kicked in the eye at the tae kwon do......no big story.no drama just a accident...but really upsetting for everyone.......noogsy

hi everyone..i'm here for a moan..i don't know where to start,but i feel over whelmed by the reviews,parents night,hospitals,specialists,letters(that i cant seem to make any sense of),doctors, head teachers (that i have the urge to punch)i'm a bad reader so it makes everything hard for me.combined with being a rubbish writer its all to much i am very articulate and i am capable of growling at people who annoy me...but somthing is wrong cos i feel like i have come up against a brick wall and have no fight in me at the moment.....hubby works away from home so i'm on my tod with lou most of the time.he is not going to be home for christmas this year so this is probably why i am feeling rotten..i'm just feeling soooo out of sorts...i have decided to ask for a adult evaluation for adhd and asd but i'm terrified of our gp.....so i'm working up to it.i know already that i have a inattentive brain and issues ....l ...but someone telling me in black in white has to be disturbing.. .so i rumble on thinking about things but not achieving much..i feel like i need to sort myself out but have no idea where to begin.we have had to put locks on every room just now to keep louis inand out of things...he doesnt sleep much eother so we are knackered...im just so hacked off....noogsy

its kinda tricky this one.we had louis referred when he tried to climb out of the car when i was driving.he had been watching on stunt men on tv and decided to give it a bash.he climbed out the window(yes he had his seat belt on but took it of)yes i realised he had the window open we were on a duel carrigway and i was slowing but i had cars behind me.then when i pulled in louis was scrambling on to the roof.as i got out of the car he had hooked his fingers round the bit between the front and back door.i didnt realise i slammed my car door .and took his thumb nail off...LOUIS WAS SO FAST.in the weeks of me waiting to see camhs he climed out on our house roof a three story house on a main road with cars and lorries hurtling below.he was a nightmare.his first diagnosis was for ADHD then i was told he was also on the spectrum so he has a duel diagnosis of both.but it has been recognised that louis has asd formost as ritalin can make his asd worse.ADHD we have been told has a umbrella(yes that old umbrella...lol) of co morbids including ocd,asd,adhd,and others that my brain has forgoton.we have found ritalin to be usefull for louis because it does stop his impulsivity...so not more climing out windows.although he still mushes things up.especially his bedroom...lol...love noogsy.......(spell checker LOL)

oh that was easy done and dusted.lllnoogsy

thanks everyone who has replied.devon mum this is the kind of thing i think i am looking for.somthing that is fun and helps the kids learn maths.i feel im losing the will to live and im out of my depth.its so hard because i dont want to force him.i will also find out about specialised teachers...if anyone knows of anything eles,im all ears....love noogsy

h ibadonkadonk .i think if you phone up the dr will have left the sick line for you at the front desk.when my big son was off work with depression i used to phone the gp tell him what was wrong with big son then he would give me the sick line.dave was also scared of the doctors surgery.and the dr.and the secratery...it was a total nightmare....the thing is you can be put off going to the dr....then whats going to happen...im inclined to think your mum should take a rolled up news paper with her just in case she needs it. ......sorry i dont mean that pet.im sure it will be fine ..but he should really appologise to you i think....love noogsy

shhhhhhh.....happy birthday bagpuss....shhhhhhhhh .. i hope you are having nice birthday....love noogsy
