[Good Luck Suze, and tell J we are thinking of him. Hope you have a wonderful day, if tubes a nightmare (which I know Ben hates) then there is always the buses, Ben enjoyed these more than taxis as we sat up top so he could see all the sights.

 

Let us know how you get on

 

LOL

[Frangipani]

All the best Suze hope you have a great day out together. <'>

A bit late now (as you're probably already on your way) but take care and, if you can, you try to have fun 'in the big smoke' too

i've been wondering all day how well it was received. I cant wait to find out

[Suze]

Well we made it , there was alot of worry over the train being on time , the seats, the platform etc but he enjoyed the train to Euston.The Tube was a nightmare and I found it difficult but he held it together , there,s so much noise and shaking etc .............. .We found london bridge and had some dinner then went to the commisioners offices which were very smart.We met the other 10 kids and their parents and then Al the commisioner, who was a very very nice chap.He seemed concerned and not surprised about the struggles our kids have with school.Think he had done his homework .Then our kids told him their experiences , not all good , every parent had to fight for the correct provision.We all left with the new copies of the kids interviews which I think is really good,a very insightful report on autistic kids views of school.Got back late v,knackered .

Suze,

 

Glad you both had a good experience. The tubes are horrid I usually get taxis, very brave of you to tackle them.

 

Was thinking of you and glad you both enjoyed the day <'>

[TheNeil]

Glad it wasn't the nightmare you were dreading Suze and it sounds like it was actually pretty positive

 

Like everyone else I hate the tube too - last time I ended up walking a lot of places instead

Great job both of you.Hope the people in high places listen and take action.Karen
