pingu Report post Posted August 26, 2012 Hello everyone. I havent been around for years. and for that i am really sorry, but i thought i would pop back in to ask the mods a question. You see i am writing a book (still) about Autism and mental health, and back in the beginning this forum was my lifeline. I wondered if i had your permission to mention that fact and also to mention some of the posts i made here back in 2004 - 2007. I will not be mentioning anyone by name, but i cannot continue with the chapter i am on until i know that i have the permission of this forum. A quick update whilst i am here. My youngest son and Daughter are still been home educated by myself and are doing as well as can be expected. We are currently going through the diagnostic procedure again with my daughter as her difficulties are impacting on her daily life. My son as you might remember already has a diagnosis of Aspergers syndrome. My eldest son who is now 19 has recently been diagnosed with Schizophrenia. So we have got our work cut out here, I hope you are all well, Hello to everyone new, Is flora still around btw? she was a massive support here at one time but i havent had the time to check out yet if she is still a member here. Anyway i hope you are all ok . much love. pingu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pingu Report post Posted August 26, 2012 Lol really? where did everyone go? It has been a while since i called by, a bit too long by the sound of things. I started writing the book in 2007 but had to take a break due to family circumstances in 2008. since then i have only been writing tiny bits at a time, but recently i have really got back into it and am hopeful that this time i will actually finish it. and when i do i will hope to get it published, but if nobody wants to take it on then i will be selling it as an Ebook online. . its great to meet you guys. x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
