So you never smile?

Youve never gone out anywhere with your kids or partner?

You have no hobbies, never shop, never visit the doctors etc?

In red, thats so sad, you are making your kids pay with there childhood for your deppression, however it is caused.

Do you not think I feel bad about that.

The reason I tried to overdose is because I felt guilty for ruining they're lives & genuinely thought they were better off without me.

Thanks, another reason I asked, is because I've come accross teaching professionals who refuse to accept a student with aspergers is in need of additional support. In some cases I know of, has even resulted in legal action taken by the parents.
I'm always skeptical of anyone that claims that those on the spectrum don't have additional needs, but I appreciate your comments that they don't always see it as a disability, I fullly agree with that. But although that is true, they do see themselves with many differences.

No, without question they have a myriad of additional needs and we try so hard to support those needs.

In fact, we have won awards for our Inclusive Learning Team, who work with us to provide specific, personally tailored support, in effect another pair of eyes in a classsroom setting to ensure they integrate, socialise and gel with their peers, which, if you have experience of autism you will appreciate is not always an easy task.

We give out of class study support, accompany those who need it to work placements, and help them learn organisational strategies. if the need is there we provide one to one support from the moment they arrive in college each day, to the moment they leave. We do this because we are in an area where many of the special schools have been closed, and so, many young people who would in other areas be in special schools, are, in this area, in mainstream education.

But that is another story.;)

Well I don't get it and earn don't earn that much.

Phone them up and check Fiver...the wee cards do get sent automatically (not from HMRC but it's them that supply the info to the NHS) but there may have been an error.

If you are under 14K, WTC/CTC and lone parent (if I remember correctly) then I would have thought you would have been eligible.

Most people here are attempting to either physco-analysis (never could spell that word) her state of mind, predict as fact the outcome of any court case, or just have a good nose into her life for their own amusement.

Can we include you in that number?

I'll do that. When I applied for WTC I was told to return my card because I was no longer entitled.

Hmmm...seems a bit odd. It could all be correct of course but worth a quick phone call at least

I agree - give them a call to check as I receive WTC and had an exemption card come through the post just the other day.
