    My boy is pretty intelligent and started talking a bit for the first time maybe 2 years ago, he is nearly 10 as well. Actually picked up a Harry Potter this week and seems to be reading it. Amazing lol

    Not Asperger's though. Bog standard severe autism.

    And I bet my last pound that he is the centre of your universe and you enjoy every day with him. I babysat for an autistic child for the first time today and it was the most rewarding day ever. They have so much love to give - enjoy your precious son.

    Of course we love him and actually he is better value than his younger bro & sis at the mo, they are truly terrible brats lol

    Of course you can't compare & contrast, but autism does seem to take family relationships to a different level.

    I've just added 3 more to my basket in case others don't get theirs. So if they turn up I'll give you first refusal - the only thing I'd ask is that you cover the P&P, as I don't have much spare cash at the moment! :)

    How kind! I wish the world was full of KiKis! You will get goodness back to you for doing good. That's always my belief anyway. Good luck!:j

    what area are you from?


    Brighton and Hove. And they're still selling for 1p!

    I can change my order up to 0414 tomorrow morning, so when I get up I'll check the site for price, see what it says.

    Taking my 10 year old shopping is just a nightmare. Not just his behaviour but the way other people react to him. I now have everything delivered because at the moment going out is a big no no. No Aspergers for me either - just standard autism but we work on it and everything he does is getting better. There's a fab Facebook group if anyone wants to join. Lots of help and adults with autism who can explain some things that my boy can't.

    Elephant hide needed lol
  • They seem to be available to order for me but as I've just done a big Tesco/Asda shop and we're going off on holiday soon don't need anything else to warrant the delivery charge. Hope you all get them though.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .
