Yes savvy I was a bit surprised.i did write the full word and spelt it correctly.didnt realise it was a censored word.........its not bleeped on the bbc!!!just shows you, its not just samsung smart tvs that listen in:p sometimes its not reasurring to have a big brother watching u:D
So must go..take care all

It's allowed in newspaper article headlines online (I checked as searching for a way to be accurate). I suspect it's not allowed on some forums (fora?), including this one, so as not to allow people to use the noun abusively against another user. However, other epithets, that could cause as much (or even more) trouble/consternation/controversy are 'allowed'. I shall not get into that though...next!!:)

(I don't think there's much "BB" aspect of watching you - it's simply a computer looking for an arbitrary set of letters/symbols/numbers/characters that doesn't know context or have any level of common sense - and, in those respects, is worse than this Aspie:D.

Imagine if I "functioned" like that...:eek::rotfl:! I'd be bad - I'd be non-stop complaining and picking out and picking up people on things every few seconds!:eek::eek: The whole forum would collapse in disarray!:rotfl: It would - people would never get anything done and normal life would cease to function if things were like that! Mind you, the whole universe has ceased on the basis of some people's algebra tonight:rotfl::rotfl:!)

Evening all :wave:

:mad::mad: ao.com and their price match :mad::mad:

I fb ao.com and ask them if they will price match a washing machine which is £50 cheaper at argoose. They said no as Argosse cant promise to deliver something within 48 hours.
So then I gave them a link to a flubit offer I had on the same washing machine (only £5 cheaper than argoose) and they said they never heard of that flubit before so they cant price match.

Whats the point of price match when there are all these petty rules :mad::mad:

Well to top it all ao.com have now put a £50 off any washing machine over £399 which this one would have qualified for but mums now gone and ordered another washing machine at currys :eek: Why didnt the guy on fb tell me about this offer. Surely they must know something in advance. Well they lost a customer doing it this way

4 or 5 days wasted on researching washing machines :mad:. Could have been doing something useful like switching bank accounts or something :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl:Happy to be a clumsy little know all!:D:rotfl::o:o:rotfl:

Not really - I mean I ought not to add those embarrassments:eek:.

I'm happy to be a clumsy little know all.:D There! It's true:p:rotfl:.

Clearly though, it has a spectrum and some people are more 'severe', so maybe there are things to do. I suspect your son will also start learning/being taught about social skills as well now (people generally don't need to be taught) - as regards me, I'm long-in-the-tooth and well past any useful intervention, I feel, in that regard - I've gone through (been going through, and hopefully continue for as many years as possible through) life and sort of learned by experience, what works, what does not, oops I said something that didn't go down well, best not say such a thing in future, and perhaps they'll teach your son how to read body language now - but, with me, I've never learned it, don't want to, it would just create an unnecessary thing to worry about for me, I go on through life without and it doesn't cause too many issues - have heard that when people actively have to read body language, it can be so exhausting and need a long rest from it after social conversation. Me, I just am who I am:).

:rotfl::rotfl: I was not meaning that to bounce back on you :eek: ds2 is clumsy but we know he has problems with his motor skills, he gets help from occy therapy and he does know a lot about certain subjects so maybe "know all" fits :rotfl: They are working on his social skills with social stories and a few other things, not sure if it will do any good...time will tell.

He'll get what I didn't get. It's a different approach to helping people with this now recognised condition (or, technically, not recognised anymore since it's being removed and put together with the rest of autism spectrum disorders. But, you know what I mean;). People now know about "Asperger's" beyond the small group of specialists (and myself:D) that knew in the 1980s. Actually, I didn't know a lot of the details about Asperger's that I know now - didn't realise all that in me was also Asperger's.)

I get support now in a different way, so that's good. Best of luck to him (and you and rest of family etc.).:)

Indeed, I assume it works exactly like this.... as I have implemented a similar system for an in-game chat system previously.

If any word (after processing some rules like '3' looks like 'E') in the 'blacklist' appears within the text, it is replaced by question marks.

For the project I was involved in, it was my own list of words (partly found from google) plus whatever my co-workers thought worth adding at the time.

It was far from the 'will of the game', they just outsourced a system to 3rd party and afaik never updated the list.

I wish you well in your journey on the long learning curve:T:T:T


This sounds like me at primary school.:o Falling over a lot - so much that I was sent off for all manner of tests ... intelligence, hearing, balance. Turns out I was just clumsy. (I learnt all this later, as a grown-up, from my parents, who to be fair to them knew or thought I wasn't 'stupid')


I wish I could say "Don't worry" but that would be facile; but with your guidance:A (and that of others if needed) I feel sure he will grow up into a simply splendid human being.

Thank you Jelly I have already worried my way far ahead through primary and secondary schools and into college, uni then work :rotfl: I have to try to stop my brain racing ahead as he may sail on through it all. Dd2 is also clumsy...but just clumsy like her mum Both the kids are double jointed which doesn't help them, sports day is a nightmare as they have no coordination. I do love to watch them dance though, that old saying "dance like no one's watching" That's my 2 :T

But that is what parents do, for loved ones, all the time:) He will be what he will be. And you will help him along that long road ahead:D

I am glad he is getting support and some aspects are definitely needed but I worry that it so much a case of trial and error as every child, on the spectrum or not, is different. If they make mistakes in their delivery of programs or manipulate his personality and it has a negative impact to his future happiness and wellbeing it will be down to me as I instigated the interventions. But, doing nohing could have been the wrong thing too....

it's just about doing what feels right the same as every other parent does for their kids I suppose.

Thanks Savvy :A
