    When I was a kid I remember visiting my uncle on the south coast and we watched Skylab going overhead. Pleased to see that the space station programme's survived the end of the space race!:)

    Re damp - I've read that if you get the really cheap (Lidl/Aldi) cat litter and pour it in a tray in the middle of each caravan room it can help with damp while it's shut up for winter.

    My parents put a bowl of salt in each room in their caravan over the winter...done the trick so far!
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

    Well done NDB!

    I always wanted to do the marathon but alas, the only way I could do it now would be if someone pushed my wheelchair as I would get 20m from the start line and would have to stop if walking (if pushing the chair, I wouldn't even get 5m!)

    James has worked, worked, worked since coming home, so even though he is home from uni, it is still like he is away at uni...except for the extra washing.

    Feel better this morning.

    Just as well. :).

    Lab said they won't process the test without the paperwork. Surgery say they have never seen paperwork with these tests in the history of doing these tests.

    I wrote on the bottle with a marker that I sort of did it ( after the nurse said surely it didn't matters I'd done it incorrectly, I should just keep quiet and see what results were) and am hoping I have done the best of a mixed up situation.

    Nurse refused to take bp because GP hadn't requested it.

    That's good.

    The trouble I find with life - in almost everything we do - is that things are done to us and we're not told what to expect, what will happen. People assume we know everything.

    I hope it's all OK for you and you get the result you want.

    Take your nurse.... you don't know if she should have, a nurse has told you no, so you've accepted that. Now you have to wait and it might be that in a week's time you're told to do it again because she didn't take the test.... and then, if you try to post on a forum to ask stuff people will shoot you down because "you should have known/must have known/everybody knows...." but you don't.

    We do XYZ because we're told to..... but have no idea what/why we're doing things until it doesn't go how it should have and we're left picking up the pieces and being made to feel rubbish for not knowing things....

    I hope it's all OK for you and you get the result you want.


    Well, there is a certain irony to some of the tests ATM. They were the subject of the physiological aspect of my thesis and what I was determined to work towards making a breakthrough on during the bourse of my career......before I drifted off elsewhere.

    So, I do know a bit about these test. I was looking at it for a different reason, but have had experience with it once in an animal for current line of investigation. Its different in animals, a bit, and much more common, So difficult to say if I feel my experience corresponds to guess at results. :D. ATM I'm sort of fifty fifty because I think that some things correspond a lot, but other things very much don't and its my understanding that they would be key in human experience too. But let's see. :)

    Any result is positive...either its wiped off list of concerns or it allows treatment. I'd really look very favourably on something that tipped balance in the way of more dynamic treatment, particularly surgery, less cautious treatment, more.....let's cut the beggar out type stuff.
