Mumble Report post Posted January 30, 2009 Ooh this thread hasn't been used in a while - I guess January isn't a very positive month Anyway, I do have a positive and a very nice one. :thumbs: Today I had the pleasure of meeting the most loveliest autism friendly nurse you could imagine. I had to get my dressing changed and not only did she 'get' all the communication issues, issues I have with health type settings etc, but she also had a full understanding of sensory issues and brought it up without me having to say anything She said she realised some of the different dressings might not have the right feel so instead of plonking one on she let me feel three first (despite the fact this then made them non-sterile and they had to be disposed of) so that she knew I would cope with the one she used. And she told me everything she was going to do and followed my non-verbal communication so she didn't hurt. :notworthy: I think I'm going to have to go and lie down in a darkened room now - I'm in shock!! :o Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickyB Report post Posted January 30, 2009 Wow !! Doesn't it make a HUGE difference when someone 'gets' it? I took DS to hospital when he was 3 - he'd split his head open on the edge of a radiator. They decided they'd have to 'glue' it back together - he wasn't too happy about lots of people holding him and touching his head. The nurse came out with a corker - 'erm, he's quite distressed, isn't he?' Er, yes I think anyone would be distressed in that situation, never mind the sensory issues which he has, which had been explained to her Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baddad Report post Posted February 1, 2009 Can't remember why it came up, but got talking to Ben t'other day about the jungle book... he couldn't remember watching it when he was little, so even though he's technically a bit old for it i rented it and we watched it together last night... OH JOY! He really enjoyed it this time round for the story/humour etc rather than just the actiony bits - sat and watched it all with hardly a fidget! He did get annoyed with me singing all the songs though, and has tutted and done this every time i've said 'I'm gone, man, solid gone' today. It made a welcome change from Futurama/The Simpsons, though or those ancient Hanna Barbera Jetson's and Flintstones he's just rediscovered Right - must press on: I'm gone, man, solid gone..................... L&P BD PS: ben's just slipped over on the bathroom floor 'cos i hadn't got round to mopping up after his bath earlier. in the words of Nelson muntz: HAHA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mumble Report post Posted November 11, 2009 No one's been positive for a while, it took me a while to hunt this thread down. I'm not feeling too positive, but I have had one good thing today I thought I would share because it's a real rarity (the thing, not me being positive... ) I had a letter in the post today from the Freedom Pass and Blue Badge people at my local council saying that they are renewing my pass without me having to reapply or complete any paper work. It's not even due for renewal until next year (though I was already panicking so glad this is one less thing to worry about). They've actually appeared to have the braincells to use their common sense and not make me go through lots more forms. Astonishing. It does mean me having to accept the underlying implications, that they clearly think I need it, not being able to drive etc. but impressed at their common sense. Not often things work without having to ask or fill in lots of forms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tally Report post Posted November 11, 2009 That IS good news I have had some good news from the Tax Credit people. They were paying me £7 a week, and I was worried this was a mistake and that I should not be paying me anything at all since I do not actually earn enough to pay any income tax. So I sent them a letter showing all my workings to explain my income for this financial year. I have now been awarded enough that it has taken the immediate pressure off getting a new job. It's a huge relief! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I sent them a letter showing all my workings to explain my income for this financial year. I have now been awarded enough that it has taken the immediate pressure off getting a new job. It's a huge relief! That sounds good I really need to get my head round benefits etc. because I have no idea what a Tax Credit is. I've been kinda hiding from it as a student but it will be much easier if I can get things beginning and put into place now as far as possible before graduating next year. Whatever happens, I loose my uni security blanket next year and will have to face the world, so it would be sensible to make use of having a supportive health centre/GP etc now. I've been told today I'm going to need hospital treatment every fortnight for the rest of my life. It hasn't sunk in at all and I'm sure it will hit later, but the implications for working (and subsequently earning enough to live on) are one thing that cause anxiety.

minerva Report post Posted November 26, 2009 Had a Child Protection meeting today, Social Services were told NOT to come back until they had something that met the criteria (and basically to stop wasting everybodys time!!) And that a Mum that gets upset with her son for hurting her does NOT constitute Emotional Abuse in any way shape or form Watched the SS walk out of the building with their tails between their legs and went for a lovely dinner with my very brave boy who told SS "Most people would actually envy the relationship me and my Mum have when we arent fighting" "I'm not jealous of my brother's relationship with my Mum, i'm jealous of my brother! Because everything is just so easy for him! He does really well at school, he makes friends really easily and hes just good at everything!!" and the best one!!!! "Thats a lie! You totally made that one up!" He was so brave bless him!!! He didnt want to speak at all and was hidden in the corner with his back to everyone until they started saying nasty things about me....then he decided to join in! THATS MY BOY!!!!

Tally Report post Posted March 23, 2010 I opened up the shop by myself yesterday and I did not blow anything up, even though I did manage to open the WRONG red valve on the back of the dry cleaning maching when I turned it on and it had no water to cool it . . . I have no idea what the valve I did open does I might also have blagged a few extra hours' work in the mornings, but I'm not sure if that will work out yet because I'm not willing to do quite exactly the hours they want me to.
