baddad Report post Posted August 17, 2008 (edited) i had a great holiday too! Cool huh Birthday Ben! He did - and so did dad! Best of all was the number of things he took on that challenged that comfort zone! In addition to this: http://s78.photobucket.com/albums/j85/badd...ent=zipwire.flv He climbed 30ft into a crow's nest http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j85/badd...tins2008052.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j85/badd...tins2008051.jpg and climbed the face of the tower used for the zipwire. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j85/badd...tins2008108.jpg He also went on almost every ride at the fun fair (even the ones that made me feel ), and enjoyed them so much we had to go back for a second day! 100% cool is an understatement!

Matthew can't wait to go back and try that himself (he was too much of a wimp before ) He's standing next to me as I type and I think I'm about to be whacked for calling him a wimp OUCH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tally Report post Posted August 17, 2008 (edited) I like the look of the zip wire! There is a really big one at the Eden Project. I went on that a year or two ago. I was really scared and took ages to get the courage to jump. You have to stand on the edge and jump off, no sitting down. It was dead scary, but well worth it! Well done Ben!

baddad Report post Posted August 18, 2008 What did you think of Wall-E - I was thinking of taking the boys soon. NickyB and the boys Hi nicky - BD on the boy's behalf as he's busy playing worms OW 2... He really enjoyed WallE, and so did the rest of the kids with us... Much of it - the first half in particular - is visual with hardly any dialogue... I wonder if this will increase it's appeal for kids on the spectrum(?), because it takes all of the language comprehension out of the equation and replaces it with far less confusing visual emotions (which they've mostly kept very obvious/unsubtle in presentation)... The second half introduces more plot and dialogue, but even here the characters are very 'one dimensional' (without detracting from anything) and the plotline easy to follow. I guess they were aiming for something that very small kids would be able to follow, but the way they've achieved that seemed very 'autie-friendly' to my mind M will enjoy it, I'm sure, but it'll be interesting to hear S's take on it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll definately take them both (might wait until DS is on a day off, though. Don't think I've got the strength to cope in a cinema on my own ) Sounds like the perfect film for kids on the spectrum Nicky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted August 26, 2008 Hi Ben, Really late to this but anyway and I hope you're enjoying being 11 so far! We enjoyed Wall: e too. Love the photos - I think you're really brave to do that zip wire. Did your dad do it too? K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
