    My little boy (who is my 3rd) had some complications at birth which resulted in a brain injury (and he has since been diagnosed as having Autism and hypotonia) so I didnt return after maternity leave like I was planning to. I worked in reservations at head office so it was fun being part of a team.

    Sorry to bring the thread down :(.

    Just a little payment today . I won't be able to over pay much this month, just had to pay £350 for someone to assess my little boy for dyslexia. After two years of fighting the school and pleading for help they are still dragging their heels with the usual excuses 'we don't like to label' 'boys are slower' etc etc. So after another night of him crying that he is stupid and why is he still on baby books etc etc, I have booked him to see a specialist.

    Sorry little rant there, it just slipped out. :o

    Giving you a big hug hun, it sounds like you've all been having a really stressful time. I hope that the specialist can help your son and in turn help his confidence. :A
