Dalmations

Oh yes my son uses my sofa like a trampolene, even though we have a 14 foot one in the garden, it is not as much fun as bouncing of my sofas. I have given up trying to have a nice house as everything just gets wrecked and looks like a war zone....lol

My 11 year old son does that he has always got something in his mouth. It gets quite embarressing when we are out and about. Not much help really. <'> <'>

The lovely bones by alice seabold. i am really enjoying it.

Thank you, my son does get 2 nights a month respite care which is fantastic and we can spend quality time with daughter, my son also stays to after school club once a week untill 5.30, so she has her friends around that night to play. she also does karate 2 nights a week and swimming so she does not miss out in some ways, it is just the qualty time just with the 2 of us.

Thank you for your suggestions, i will have a look into them and try sort something out for her.

Thank you karen, we was under camhs for a year but things were going well so she closed our file i will have to get in contact with them again and she if we can sort something out, I am also seeing my sons paediatrician on monday so hopefully he might be able to help.

I have not been on for 2 years for various reasons but i am back. I am married with 2 children my son 11 has asd and my daughter is 7.

Hello I have not been on here for a long time i am having trouble with my 7 year old daughter she is wishing that she was dead she hates her life and she keeps wanting to runaway from home and i don't know what to do with her. My son is 11 has asd and is non verbal he keeps invading her private space which sets her of and really upsets her, i feel like i am stuck in the middle with the 2 of them, trying to do my best but it is frightening me how my dd is going of. My husband is no use as all he does is shout at both of them and wind them up all the more it feels like i have 3 kids. is there any advice you can give me thank you. sorry for ranting.

we have a 11 month old border collie, she is very good with the kids, my son loves taking her out for walks with us.

my son is 10 and he has been using pecs for the past 5 yrs, he can make up quite long sentences and he communicates quite well using this system as well as the few words that he can say.

I was in the same situation 3 years ago. I got a local councillor to help us and he spoke on our behalf at a special panel meeting at the council. our old house was far to small to meet my sons needs, it was also damp and in a rough area. we was rehomed 2 months later into a housing association house, in a nice area and much bigger.

I have just got to get my daughter some navy blue trousers and then l am finished.

Thank you she has managed to get one , she has just got to wait a couple of weeks for wheelchair services.

my son has been away this week on a special camp he comes home tomorow. we have had such a relaxing week, it is so nice to have that break but l am ready for him coming home now.

pleased you had a good time, you can't beat camping it gives the kids so much more freedom than they would normally have. l cheat with camping l have a caravan.

Thank you l will get her to try occupational therapy and the physio.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help my sister wants a macclaren buggy for my nephew who is 3, I can't remember where l got my son's from as it was a few years ago. thank you.

The haven site perran sands, near newquay have ready erected tents. hope this helps. l have found that kieran my asd son loves camping.

personally l don't think that the safety flooring is that safe, my daughter broke her arm earlier this year when she fell of a climbing frame at a park.

my daughter is enjoying all the attention, she can't wait to go back to school tomorow to show off her coloured pot to all her friends.

l am really proud of k who is 9 and has ASD, while we was on holiday last week my daughter broke her arm. we had to spend nearly 5 hours at the local A&E while she was x-rayed and seen by the doctors,and then wait for her to be taken to the childrens ward. The whole time we was at the hospital k was really well behaved, usually 5 minutes in hospital and he has a major meltdown he hates hospital's.

my son is also allergic to penicillian, he came out in a horrible rash and he was vomiting and shaking, when he was a baby.
