    You're fab but I'd be frightened to come home from work. It would go one of two ways. I'd walk in and you'd be lying on the sofa with seethru underwear on and you'd say take me big boy or on the other hand I'd walk in and you'd say Am I as attractive as that blonde you work with?

    It is highly unlikely that I will condemn half the human race because of one idiot.

    You could just apologise...

    In your dreams.......

    Honestly you are a total idiot. I am far more likely to have set the fu cking kitchen on fire and be screaming blue murder whilst flapping a damp tea towel.

    You got to be honest, the internet is interesting.

    People have such strange ideas

    I’m an older poster and I wouldn’t want to live my life on my yesterday but when I did I didn’t think it was that bad. Does that make sense.

    My brother has no television, no phone and no computer....and he is perfectly happy.

    He does have a fridge freezer, my old one which is now over 15 years old.

    Edit - He does have a laptop but no internet...he uses it to play music and watch DVD's, he bought it second hand for £40.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.
