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!

I was at the doctors the other week and a mother came in with her toddler both were in their pyjamas. It was 10am.

I've now annoyed myself writing the above because I hate the feeling that I'm judging people but its the hygiene issues that get to me:eek:

Hubby and daughter have gone to watch Iron Man 3, so I'm watching Paul Hollywood's Bread series that I had recorded. It strikes me as I'm watching, how much sex appeal the man has!!!!!

John Torode is growing on me:)

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This is the book I bought; it was written about thirteen years ago, so may be a little out of date, but it's still in print so I assume it continues to be relevant.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

Glad you're getting something out of the books. Understanding is a massive part of dealing with things. Im so with you on sarcasm :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: it will never be understood. Ditto sayings and most levels of 'normal humour'. I write stuff like that down. A couple of examples:

me: that's the way the cookie crumbles
DS2: we're not talking about cookies, we're talking about me getting more computer time. Why are you changing the subject to cookies?

me to my OH: Talk about a sledge hammer to crack a nut
Ds2: Eh mum, technically if you used a sledgehammer to crack an nut, you would crush the nut too much and not be able to eat it. I think nut crackers would be better

I have a book full of similar, I might publish it one day :rotfl::rotfl:

I guess I'm in the minority as he seems to be drooled over quite a lot but oh my days I do find his smugness most unattractive I'd rather snog Mary Berry :rotfl:

When I see snog I always think of mad:)

Or should that be song:cool:
