Thanks.:):)

Your sig tells us your DS2 has Asperger's, so too does fairclaire's son. Is it me or are there a lot of people nowadays with this? It seems like there's so many of us with it - or maybe it is being diagnosed more and more now? I went all the way through school and (twice, nay three times!) through Uni, without it being picked up. When I was told I had it, I felt like I'd won the lottery (the lottery of life rather than the National, unfoturnately). I feel like one of the 'chosen few', chosen specially to learn and know better than most people.

I operate in a better way. It does bring its problems too, which rather than being much problematic have found explanations for themselves and are not too badly debilitating. It affects everyone who has it differently, so I don't know what's it like for your son (or for you). I don't communicate solely by text - I was 'traditionally' a very shy person earlier in my life (that 'shyness' which turned out not to be just mere shyness but something more) but am very fluent and when I speak to people they most likely wouldn't know I had it.
It can be difficult to get myself understood though (particularly in oral communication rather than writing). For those who have time to read and understand, everything is of course explained - the full and complete picture - in my writing!:rotfl::rotfl:

interesting post savvy. My sons diagnosis is ASD rather than Asperger's , probably due to his added physical problems and learning difficulties ( but only in certain areas, he has brilliance in others). But his 'communication' is very aspergers(esque). Thats why your posts always make me it's like a typed version of a conversation with him. Attention to detail and using as many words as possible to get to the point :rotfl::rotfl:

As for the question of do more people have autistic spectrum conditions? I think no. I really think there is just an increased awareness and better understanding of it, and probably a much easier process of diagnosing. Im sure if the older amongst us think back to our school days we will remember people who were most likely undiagnosed sufferers. I know I can

How awful, some people are just soooo nasty:(

I love smiling at people, most smile back, the older generation especially the men say morning, or lovely day, but you get the odd sour pusses who just sneer at you or totally ignore you!

She had face like a smacked a*se so I shouldn't have been that stunned to be honest. Miserable old bag.:D

I can't believe I forgot to tell you all about the charming lady I passed yesterday.

Picture the scene- me and my little boy are walking down the road yesterday morning at 9am singing old macdonald and having a little dance in the street. We've passed a woman with a buggy and I've smiled and said "morning" The very charming response was " F off you cheery !!!!!"
Lovely eh.
I was totally stunned and speechless (not a normal response I can assure you)
Beautiful ain't it. :rotfl:

Reminds me of an incident some years ago, myself and a little old lady were in a lift with some mentally challenged young adults and their carers. We got to the next floor and I held the door open so they could all get out, the old lady hung back, when they had all got out she came up to me and said that she thought they really should not be let out of the home because they upset people like her:eek::eek: I was dumbstruck, she looked so sweet too!

Forgot to mention, when I was at Pontins Lowestoft at the weekend, a few people were coming to breakfast in their pjs and slippers or Onesies, I couldn't believe it, I know it's only a small thing but to me it's just common, to not even bother to get dressed for brekkie and to actually go out of the house dressed in your night clothes is just plain wrong and believe me I am not snobby at all!

Glad I'm not the only one, saw a friend of my daughter pushing the puschair to school in her PJs the other day, I've taken babies out in PJs but NEVER myself. It just looks so awful. When I worked in a local newsagent we had a regular come down in DIRTY PJs, drunk, at about 10 in the morning, half the time she was asking if we had seen her kids (old enough to look out for themselves thank God!).

Thanks for taking the time to respond, Savvy.

This is the book I bought; it was written about thirteen years ago, so may be a little out of date, but it's still in print so I assume it continues to be relevant.

There's a newer book by the same author, written three years ago; as far as I am concerned it's more for professionals than laymen, but it may be worth getting for those who have not yet read it.

One of the reviewers on the Amazon site (an AS himself) recommends this book. I know nothing of the author or the book, but the three reviews on it are all positive.

Other than this I've now purchased the three in the series by KAthy Hoopmann for reading along with the children (on the recommendation of FC). I shall write a review of all three once I've received and read them with DS2 and then link the reviews here for others who may have a child/partner with AS.

One book I'm really enjoying at present is Freaks, Geeks & AS I've found the author's experience really useful in letting me know why my DS2 is finding it so difficult to a) control his temprer; b) speak clearly and c) generally understand. The one biggest trick?! - No sarcasm! :A

Evening all, many thanks to the "bog roll" posters. Just popped/ dived down to my nearest (bridge of dee) and got the last 4 packs. Can confirm @ £1.75 for 16 rolls. Fantastic.

On a bum note- went to a tosco yesterday and bottled doing a dtd on a gammon joint. But I did use an apg at the ss till ( I was brave and my chum was with me)

Ever since I got megga trouted at sada a while ago I have been a "feartie". Just getting my mojo back a bit after all the sadness and stress we were going through and not back on a level yet. Didn't want to take the chance incase I burst into tears. I tend to buy the goodies and then send hubby out with the apg and a list. He wants to get trouted!!.

Rambling on........many thanks again and hugs to all. xx

:eek:

I've had people ask me to look out for bog roll deals/glitches. Have I missed the boat on this?
