    Anyway... regarding folks failing to listen, we have the same problem convincing others that they should shop the way we do, so that's not conclusive!:):)
    if we were successful and managed to convince everyone to shop the way we do, it would be our downfall, as the shops would have to change the way they do things.

    Right, enough.

    Someone seen as a swot or a bit of a 'geek' at school and therefore bullied (with me of course, in a very autistic way itself, clueless as to why that might be:doh:). Now.. the hero of the thread!

    (Who's having the last laugh now eh??:rotfl::rotfl::cool::cool::cool::T:):D)

    Thank you for this Savvy. I always find your thoughts and findings an absolute mine of information. Im sure for every one of me, there are lots of others who don't pipe up!

    It's still all Dutch to me and might well always be. MY DS is very high functioning in some areas and very low in others (apparently) I write about him working out my stashes etc........yet he was deemed too low in maths skills to sit his SATS this year :( he has no problem solving skills, apparently? Maybe the problem needs to interest him??

    I.E.......he's not interested in how long a train takes to get from A to B with marjory changing halfway through the journey and paying half price fir the second part of her journey :rotfl:

    But if the question was. Fairclaire buys 64 packs of magnums to feed 5 people, DS2 only likes classic magnums, how long will that last????
    :D:D:D:D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    That's absolutely a defining character of autism!

    (Being no doctor and just a layperson in the matter of course.)

    Oh bless your DS :T
    I can remember being quite young and being all excited about going on holiday to Cornwall - we always went to Devon or Cornwall and I still love going there now (especially St Ives)

    As for photos, you looked pretty good to me on the emergency-elite-mse-not-working-weekend-thingy :)

    Ah, thanks Mildred :)

    We always used to go to Devon in the Summer, Bridlington if we went away at Easter or Blackpool if October half term. Same for years, my parents were creatures of habit :D

    In the Summer we'd be really excited as Mum and Dad would wake us at 3am ish :eek: and we'd start the journey in our pyjamas and get changed in the services on the way. My sis and I would be sat high on top of all of the pillows and duvets and we'd be handed our treats. My Dad's boss's Mum worked in the village post office and would give us a massive bag of 1p sweets and £5 spending money each. We'd be bouncing off the walls by the time we got there :rotfl:

    Strangely we've fallen into a pattern of going to the same places :rotfl: I've so many happy memories in these places that I want to take DH and the boys there.
