Morning all, got a delivery of glitching cleaning stuff this afternoon and may do a c&c on different account for tomorrow if it all works as planned.





Could I have a link please, I have always wondered how people know what is coming up xx

This is the link to the Dettol

My gut feeling says it will be the hand wash with E45 at £2.50 each. It doesn't compare well anywhere at the moment but hopefully that may change next week. It was £1.25 in Tosco last week though so unlikely to compare there again so soon.

Shortest answer ever savvy. You have just proved my point

Issue with water is that it's colourless. He wants a drink that has a colour....NOT GREEN :eek: it's that simple

I feel for you with this and understand to some extent, my eldest daughter was looked at for autism but they decided not, now we are looking at sensory processing disease, she will have a small amount of gravy on mash however other than that nothing wet can touch anything dry on a meal, now how can anyone explain that but she wouldn't eat if I put beans next to waffles for example. She will only wear leggings and will not wear a hat if it ends at her ears, all strange little things but that's life and we just have to be thankful the restrictions are not too bad x

:eek:Is everyone on the spectrum these days? (Clearly the answer is no, folks.) However, I mean so many people - and now a newbie - seem to have an autistic son or, more rarely, autistic daughter (perhaps they aren't diagnosed as much due to the different ways the condition manifests itself in females?:think:) these days.

It's not a rare condition although it is not that common either. But it was now said 1 in 88 have it. I read [red] the other day some figure of about 1 in 62 - in other words, every other school class (assuming 30 children in a class - I'm out of touch btw!).

I don't like supermarkets at crowded times. The reason is it's just so, well, crowded. Just a practical matter of getting around people and having to weave your way in and out - they don't move when you are there, seems often some people will be engrossed in conversation between each other and fail to notice you want to pass. (I wonder if that is an autism thing - I do think normal people are sometimes unaware of my presence - sometimes that can be a good thing, most times though, they continue as if you are invisible... They don't know that I'm there, yet if a normal person walks by them, they immediately turn around and notice them. Obviously no signals coming from me - whereas they pick up the body language of other people and their brain automatically attunes towards someone else. Typical of normal people again though - missing things around them! They do seem not to notice things. My bugbear about what people generally seem to miss - or not notice very quickly - is green traffic lights:mad::rotfl:.)

Being moved into a special school (and, way back then, being forgotten about) was what I was afraid of when in the 1980s I thought, for about a week, that I had autism. I dared not breathe a word to anyone as I thought that might happen. It was a different society back then and, even if I had told my teachers, they would not have had a clue what Asperger's syndrome was. I do not think I would have been believed. It was only known to the real specialists - a handful of people. Plus me - way way ahead of everybody and correct from the very beginning once again:rotfl:.

I don't seem to be as 'bad' as any of the other people on here. I'm a fussy eater, but my diet isn't that fixed.

About it being that someone will either have a relative, or know someone, who is autistic: just last Monday, in fact, in one of the M stores I visited, I came across a customer whose son was having a bit of a tantrum and I heard the man say "[name of child], you know you have autistic spectrum".

I turned and had a look at the child. Probably stared:eek::rotfl:. (But that was because I was analysing his look etc.) Man might have thought 'look, other people are looking' - or may not have noticed me at all as I am autistic (and therefore not transmitting body language signals to be picked up). They say you can't tell by looking at someone whether they are autistic or not. :think:I reckon the trained eye perhaps can. The way someone walks can be a clue, although that was not on this occasion. (Maybe an autistic person's eyes can recognise another autistic person? We do see details: maybe we see details in someone's face, or rather mouth:o, that might show someone was autistic that normal people cannot see. That's speculation: I doubt it but you never know.)

I looked at the child and thought he looked very much like I looked at that very young age. It was the expression - the smile (the 'autistic smile' maybe). I felt he was like my twin 35 years younger. And I thought about how he would grow up - I thought he's a very clever lad - but in a situation that is aware that he is autistic. I threw tantrums occasionally at that age, when I did not get my way - and I was very stubborn (because I was right!) - although I don't think I ever threw a tantrum in a supermarket. If that man is reading, I wished I had spoken with you and told you he has Asperger's just like me. I don't know how people cope, and obviously I don't know what struggles that man has with his child more generally, but would like there to be a lot of hope as I've turned out very well - just shows you what they achieve.

I wasn't staring at the child 'creating a scene'. I was just interested in him, after the man had revealed out loud that he (the child) was autistic.

This is very interesting. I don’t always feel comfortable talking about myself as someone on the Autistic Spectrum because I haven’t been diagnosed yet however I am due to be assessed for this next month. In real life some of the people who are supposed to care about me have refused to believe I have Autism so I can’t wait to hit them in the face with my report, when I finally get it Because of them I worry that people on here might think I’m making this up because one thing that is not consistent with me having autism is that I can and do tell lies when it’s necessary. I do find it difficult to lie to people I care about but have always been able to lie to anyone else without a problem.

Anyway I wanted to comment on the food issues to say that I’m the total opposite of what has been described. My taste senses seem to be underdeveloped to the point I cannot taste the difference between sugar and artificial sweetener. I have food fads from time to time but never to do with taste and there is nothing I refuse to eat as long as it’s vegetarian. There are foods I’m not keen on but will still eat, there’s no food I have an intense dislike of.

Savvy I think it’s awesome that you found out about Aspergers before we all had internet. It was so frustrating back then, if we wanted to learn about anything we had to go to the library. It was so time consuming in comparison to Google I really don’t know how I got by before the internet

Edit I just want to add to the above as that sounds like I lie all the time I don’t tell lies just to make myself sound more interesting, well except on my CV that is What I mean is I don’t tell unnecessary lies but I will lie if it makes the situation better, like on my CV or if I need a day off work or to the insurance companies that I’ve never been involved in any accident. It would be silly to be truthful in those situations

Morning

!!!!ing it down here, but still went for a 2 1/2 mile walk Lovely blue skies yesterday though.

Hmmm, what to do today?

Thanks Fc. I hadn't considered that. I used to be an extremely fussy eater. Wouldn't eat food that touched on the plate, no red red food, no triangular or round food, no sauces, no eggs. And I would have to eat eg all the chips then all the meat etc in clockwise direction around my plate. I think it was a control issue for me. I had none growing up and it was a stressful situation. I never even tried mayo until is was 22 (because it had eggs)


I know the pick the worst ppl to go on these programmes. But the main problem was the parents just gave into the kids. I they didn't seem to know what exactly the impact would be.


Eta oh and nothing smooshed/mixed up so burgers ( can't see what's in them), mince, rice because of the shape
